BLACK WATER – Dive into another world

Imagine yourself offshore, plunged into darkness, discovering creatures that emerge every night from the depths! Even if you are already fond of night diving, you will venture here into a completely new dimension. From the beaches of Polynesia to those of Hawaii, passing through the Philippines, Cozumel, and the Mediterranean, explore with us must-see spots to experience ‘black water’ diving. Exceptional encounters await!

People of the Abyss

Each night, fascinating creatures from the depths rise to feed on the plankton teeming just a few meters below the surface. Attracted by the powerful lights of boats, these animals quickly gather around divers. Many of these beings are fish larvae, drifting with the ocean currents, making it difficult to link them to their adult forms. Others, though already formed, are still in juvenile stages. Most of the species encountered during these dives measure only a few centimeters.

Clad in light

Here, there is no search for large marine species, although some big pelagics occasionally join the dance. ‘Black water’ diving offers encounters from another world, with animals rarely seen during the day, much less during classic night dives. This parade showcases various species of octopuses and squids at different larval stages, fish larvae with perfect geometric shapes, and surprisingly transparent organisms. Under the twinkling lights, these creatures display themselves before blending back into darkness. It’s almost magical, with a supernatural side in these fleeting appearances, many of which shine with bioluminescence.
