cyberrat67 Posted November 17, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Has anyone ever brought night vision goggles or binoculars on a cruise? I'm considering picking up a pair, and wondered if I'm the only strange one that would want to see the ocean better at night...anyone know of any decent night vision binoculars that aren't out of this world price-wise?

Rare geoherb Posted November 17, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I always bring our binoculars on cruises--but don't have night vision ones. A lot would depend on where your cruise is going. There's not a whole lot to see in the eastern Caribbean, for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisead Posted November 17, 2004 #3 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Theres' nothing to see at night in the middle of the ocean, so night vision anything isn't worth bringing along. You don't cruise near any land, and using night vision stuff won't make looking into the ocean any easier----there's just nothing to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberrat67 Posted November 18, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I'm thinking more for the sealife that may be out there...as well as for at home (I have woods on the property) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted November 18, 2004 #5 Share Posted November 18, 2004 There won't be much to see of sea life as they tend to be much deeper in the water that not even night visions would penetrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springtxbill Posted November 22, 2004 #6 Share Posted November 22, 2004 The night vision goggles basically work off heat and the only sealife you may be able to pick up would be whales. (fish will be the same temperature as the sea). Not worth it.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMILLER4292 Posted November 24, 2004 #7 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Actually, night vision amplifies visible light, and infrared works off of heat. Neither one can see through water however so you probably would not see too much, except mabye other ships that you might pass in the night.
