Night Diving in Lakshadweep
Lak Scuba runs night dives around Kavaratti in the season, October to May. Certified divers can book a single guided night dive, or take the PADI Night Diver course.
Who can go
- A guided night dive is for certified divers. You need a diving certification and you must be able to swim. Bring your card and logbook.
- Not certified yet? Start with Discover Scuba Diving or the PADI Open Water Diver course, both in the day. Once you are certified you can join a night dive.
What a night dive includes
A night dive includes the dive with a divemaster guide, the tank, weights and air, and a dive light. The rest of the equipment can be rented at the dive centre. The prices are on our Diving options page.
Before every dive our instructors give a full briefing on safety and on the site. We follow the buddy system on every dive.
Fitting a night dive into your trip
Our dives are generally two in the day and one in the afternoon or at night, up to three a day. The Fun Dive Package follows the same pattern.
The PADI Night Diver course
The PADI Night Diver speciality is three night dives over 2 days. You also complete the PADI eLearning and two knowledge reviews. On the dives you practise handling your light, communicating and navigating in the dark. A dive light is included.
You need to be at least 12 and hold a (Junior) Open Water certification.
On the PADI Advanced Open Water course, Night is one of the adventure dives you can choose, and it can count as the first dive of the Night Diver speciality.
Marine life
What you see changes from dive to dive, so we do not promise any particular animal.
