About Night Diving

Mexico Divers - Diving Isla Mujeres

Night diving is a type of recreational diving which takes place at dusk or in total darkness. The diver can experience a different underwater environment at night because many marine animals are nocturnal. Night dives are special because even a familiar site looks different at night. When you dive during the day, you normally scan the entire dive site looking at your surroundings. At night, you see only the area of the dive site that is lit by your light. This forces you to slow down and concentrate on that one area.

Night dives in Isla Mujeres are generally done on Manchones Reef. This is a shallow reef full of Sea Turtles, sleeping Parrotfish, Octopus, Squid, Sea Urchins, Basket Sea Stars, and many other nocturnal creatures! Bottom times at this location are long, which makes for great underwater photography sessions. This is a dive you do not want to miss while in Isla Mujeres!
