UV Dive Gili - Same islands, different planet

Join us for a completely new diving experience, unique to the Gili Islands.

UV night diving shows the underwater world in colours you would only expect to see at a full moon party. Fluorescence underwater occurs when we shine blue, near UV lights on corals and fish that contain proteins that absorbs the blue light and re-emit the light in a different wavelength (colour). The result is incredible, on a UV night dive you can expect to see fluo pink scorpion fish, yellow shr

imps and moray eels, orange crabs, green, pink and yellow corals. UV diving is still new new and very little is know as to why corals and marine life glow with flouresence under water, Dr Charles H. Mazel PhD, an expert in flourence believes that fluorescing corals may indicate the health of a reef, in which case it could become a very important part of future reef conservation. We take a maximum of 2 divers per guide, all equipped with both a UV torch and normal dive torch so you can compare colours! UV night diving can be arranged every night of the week, spaces are limited so be sure to book in advance!
