Let me make a suggestion. It will sound a bit odd, but trust me on this one... making a 'night dive' when scuba diving is like stepping back into the womb. Get certified as an 'Open Water' diver (it's as easy as breathing and swimming,) then take the next level up to 'Advanced Diver' where you will learn the skills needed for night diving. You can do all of this in just a week at most seaside vacation resort areas, and it's remarkably easy on the body. Bad back, bad legs, painful joints? No problem. Scuba is no stress.
Plan to do it to coincide with the full moon. You would not believe the instant feeling of comfort as you slip beneath the water, everything pitch black around you but when you look up, seeing the moon shining through the sea... it's bliss! I imagine it's what 'Immersion Therapy' must be like. Just floating in pure silence, only the sound of your own breathing, no gravity, no up or down, just 'being there.' Then, when you turn on your flashlights, the amazing spectacle of the coral reef below you, keeping you entranced as you float along with almost no effort.
I think I just talked myself into another dive trip...
