Night Dives are always mysterious! At night you can see a whole new world where scene changes as day creatures retire and nocturnal organisms emerged. Check out this amazing video by Guy Costa, in one of his night dives with Season Challenge. 

Join us in our next Night Dives, and observe the underwater life after the sun goes down!

Big school of greater amberjack

Do you know why fish form schools? 

  • The main reason is to protect by grouping into a tight, regimented pattern, the fish minimise their chance of being picked up by their predators. 
  • The second is to enhanced foraging success, because the number of eyes looking for food increases  and when one fish demonstrates feeding behaviour, the others follow.
  • The last reason is to increase the success of finding a mate, improve communication and reduce stress.

Dori Shipwerck with Lucia & Lucas


Today we had a great dive on Dori Shipwerck with Lucia and Lucas!

On this dive we saw large schools of yellowmouth barracuda ( Sphyraena viridensis) and white seabream (Diplodus sargus). We also observed other fascinating species such as ornate wrasse ( Thalassoma pavo), blue damselfish (Abudefduf luridus), parrotfish (Sparissoma atricausa) and stingrays (Dasyatis pastinaca).
