About Diversnight
What is Diversnight you wonder?
Diversnight is an international night dive, and is all about diving and the social aspect of diving. Groups of divers register their site on diversnight.com and arrange a night dive that includes cake. Cake is one of the key ingredients in Diversnight, as this is what Diversnight once was founded on. For more information on that, please see History.
When is Diversnight?
Diversnight takes place the first Saturday of November every year. Now, it used to be the first Thursday of December but in 2010 the Nordic countries experienced a really rough winter and no open water could be found to dive in so the diversnight.com organizers decided to move it one month earlier. In 2015 we decided to move it to the weekend.
The actual dive takes place at the time that matches the year, every year. For 2012, the dive took place at 20:12 (8:12PM) local time. For 2013, it took place at 20:13 (8:13PM) local time, and for 2017 the dive will take place at 20:17 (8:17PM). Get the idea?
How can I, or my dive club / group, partake?
In order to partake in this fantastic, international event, either contact your local dive club and ask them to arrange an event or gather your diving friends and register your site!
Only one person (the organizer of the local event) per dive site needs to register. Each dive club, or group, will have to keep their own roster of participants.
As an organizer, when can I upload my numbers?
For Diversnight 2021, we are using a more manual approach. We might update the registration form to include a field for number of divers, but we might also revert to e-mail and messages on messenger through our Facebook page. Information about this will be posted on our Facebook page.
