FAQ
Can I do 2 night dives?
Absolutely! We offer 2 night dives for €110 total (€10 extra per dive). This gives you more time to explore the wreck and spot different creatures.
What certifications do I need?
Advanced Open Water or higher required. Night Diving specialty is recommended but not mandatory if you have solid buoyancy and experience.
What time do we depart?
We depart before sunset and return after dark. Exact times vary by season. Typically around 5-8 PM departure.
Is the Excalibur Wreck suitable for night diving?
Yes! The wreck is ideal for night diving - lots of crevices attract nocturnal fish, lobsters, and other creatures. The structure also provides navigation reference points.
What if I get scared?
That's normal! Your guide will stay very close and keep you comfortable. We control the pace and can always ascend if needed.
