They can be attached to your BCD and diving tank to make sure that you can see exactly where you are.

It is necessary to have a certain amount equipment in order to obtain this certification. There are several items you should have with you on your night dives, including a dive light and a primary dive light.

Animals that produce their own light

Two methods can be used to emit light from bioluminescent creatures: One is by absorption of light from the environment, and the second is by emitting back light. Bioluminescence is a complicated chemical reaction that involves a particular class of proteins. The proteins that generate the light are called luciferase. These proteins produce cold light that emits very little heat. Bioluminescent organisms wouldn't survive if there was too much heat. The light that humans and most animals emit is very faint, which is why it isn't noticeable.

You and your buddy can commute together on night dives

Communication is key during night diving. To signal your buddy, you can use hand gestures such as flicking the light in a circle or flicking it with your finger. Or you can just hold your flashlight near your arm and wave it towards your buddy. This will ensure that your buddy sees the light better than if you were holding the light to yourself.
