Tweed River NIGHT DIVE
Curious how our lovely dive sites look like at night? What fish, critters and creatures show up in the dark and turn the dive sites into a totally different world?
Come along to a Night dive at the Tweed river!
We have seen eagle rays, sleepy turtles, bullrays, big yellow catfish, moray eels, octopus and other interesting visitors during the night.

The Tweed river is an easy dive site, so that even less experienced divers can engage in their first night dive experience. With just two days before full moon, we should have a big tide with lots of clear water and thus improved visibility. Come along and explore :-)
