Night Dive

Discover a completely different side of scuba diving on a night dive at Koutalas, where nocturnal marine life comes to life and dark nights can reveal the magic of bioluminescence.

Experience the underwater world after dark with a Night Dive at Koutalas, one of our favourite shore diving locations in Chania. As daylight disappears, the underwater environment changes completely. Familiar surroundings take on a different atmosphere as nocturnal creatures become active, while other marine life settles into its nighttime routine. Even if you've dived Koutalas during the day, exploring the same site after dark can feel like a completely different experience. Before entering the water, your instructor will give you a full briefing covering everything you need to know for a night dive, including communication, equipment, navigation and the techniques you'll use to explore safely and comfortably after sunset. Once you're underwater, you'll explore Koutalas by torchlight, taking your time to look for the marine life that emerges after dark. Keep an eye out for octopus, moray eels, cuttlefish and other nocturnal creatures that can be difficult to spot during a daytime dive. On a dark, moonless night, there is also a chance of encountering bioluminescence, when tiny marine organisms create flashes of light in the water around you. It's never guaranteed, but when conditions are right, it can be an unforgettable part of the dive. Our Night Dive is available to certified divers of all experience levels. Whether it's your first night dive or you've experienced diving after dark many times before, we'll make sure you know what to expect and feel comfortable before entering the water.
