One of my friends compared to ringing the dinner bell since so many things are attracted to your flashlight at night.

The worst part is being able to find the boat when you come back up. One time the boats light broke while we were down. It was a little tricky finding the boat in 4 foot waves in pitch black.

Its actually a fantastic experience seeing all the life that comes out at night.

You should try night diving if you think regular scuba is creepy. The only thing you can see is where your flash light is shining. Things zooming thru the beam and only catch a glimpse of what it is.

A lot of fish come out at night. Ya always have that feeling that something is creeping up behind you.

I can sure attest to that! My first open water dive was in '91 in Cozumel. 80' night dive. Man was that spooky when all you see is the dive master's light poking straight up as a guide from the floor and all you hear is your breathing. To see the eel's snarl (??) at you from their rocks or baby octopuses (octopii?) scurrying silently is eerie!!! Loved it!! But, of course, the thought of some Jaws swallowing you from behind - then my Faith kicks in big time!

I got SCUBA qualified about 20 years ago. Did some diving in Mexico and Cuba, but when I moved to FL and picked up a boat, some things I saw changed my mind. We had a couple of 10’ sharks circling the boat and that was enough for me. I cut up my PADI card.

You’ve got bigger ones than I do. I have been offered the chance and turned down night diving every time. Don’t you know there are monsters in there.

I made a pact with the sharks. They stay in the ocean and I stay on land. Been working well for many years.

I think we need to go to Brussels!

But Rika, where are all the pretty things to see?

My son and I were off Venice Beach near Sarasota FL. We had gone out about 300 yds looking for fossilized sharks teeth. There are a few megaladon teeth out there the size of your palm.

We surfaced to check out our find when my son saw a sharks dorsal fin circling us. That was a long long swim in. But we still go, just dont surface.

The night diving was far less scary than the beach diving I’ve done. The only guy I know who was hurt by a fish diving had part of a finger bit off by a puffer fish.

I think that if I came that close to one of those monsters, I’d head so far inland that salt water would just be a rumor.
