Night Dives
This tour is for certified divers only. This thrilling experience allows divers to observe Hawaii’s underwater nightlife at its best. Divers are likely to encounter octopus, lobsters, eels, sleeping turtles, and a nocturnal phenomenon called bioluminescence. Each diver is equipped with all necessary scuba equipment, along with a super bright underwater primary light and a backup light. Each night dive includes a detailed site and marine biology orientation along with specific night diving procedures. Night dives typically last approximately 45 minutes depending upon air consumption with an average depth of 25-40 feet. We offer a two tank twilight/night dive for those divers who would like to see the best of both worlds; the reef before and after the sun goes down.
What is Included: ##All dives with Dive Kauai Include:
- Guaranteed small and personalized groups of 6 divers or less per instructor!

Additional Info
🌺 Aloha and Mahalo for Choosing Dive Kauai!
We can’t wait to welcome you to your Twilight/Night Dive Adventure on Kauai! Below you’ll find all the important details you need for your adventure. Please read carefully to ensure you are fully prepared and excited for your upcoming dive.
🤿 Twilight/Night Dive Adventure Overview
Prepare for a truly magical diving experience as you explore the captivating transformation of Kauai’s underwater world from day to night. This unique 2-tank dive at Koloa Landing (Poipu) offers easy entry and minimal surface swimming, making it a stress-free choice for divers of all levels. The protected cove provides smoother, more enjoyable diving conditions—especially great for those prone to motion sickness.
Your adventure begins with a Twilight Dive, where you’ll explore both sides of the scenic “U” shaped reef and witness the vibrant daytime marine life preparing for rest. As darkness sets in, the Night Dive reveals a new world of activity with nocturnal creatures like lobsters, shrimps, crabs, Hawaiian octopuses, and eels emerging from their hiding places. Occasional sightings of glowing bioluminescent organisms add a magical touch to the experience.
Expect to encounter an abundance of marine life, including Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, Moray Eels, Octopuses, tropical fish, and more. At Koloa Landing, it’s not about if you’ll see turtles—it’s about how many you’ll meet along the way! Both dives typically last around 45 minutes each, with depths ranging from 27 to 40 feet, ensuring a safe yet exciting dive.
