WHAT YOU NEED
Ready to splash in to the 2023 Nights Dive at Blue Heron Bridge? Make sure you have everything you need with the checklist below. Missing something? Stop by the shop before your dive to pick up last minute items.
Divers can rent a complete setup or bring their own SCUBA equipment. Lights are not available to rent, but there are many options to browse at the shop. Remember that each diver or group needs their own Dive Flag and Float Ball combination.
Every diver must have the following:
- 1 Primary Light (per Diver)
- 1 Tank Light / Glow stick (per Diver)
- We highly recommend a backup light for each diver
- Parking Pass
- Dry Bag for Car Keys (purchase a dry bag at the shop before your dive)
- Full set of SCUBA gear and tank
- Dive Flag / Float Ball Combo (SMB’s are not allowed)
For the best experience and safest conditions, begin your 2023 night dives about 45 minutes before high tide. Plan to get out of the water about 30 minutes after the high tide. This is when the current is at its lowest and visibility is at its best.
Don’t forget to display your parking pass on your dashboard. After the dive, everyone must be out of Phil Foster Park by 10 PM or you may be ticketed.
Check-in times reflect shop open hours.
