You and me both. :-)

I don't do many night dives anymore. Not much to see. However, have you ever lit up coral with a UV light? Pretty cool.

That could be fun.

I might be going for my masters and instructor soon, got a free place to stay in the Carribean.

I just like how every once in a while you completely suprise a fish at night and they freak out. What I don't like are groupers and butterfly fish that always follow you about 2 feet behind your shoulder when you dive at night.

Best night dive to do is the Kona manta ray dives, they bring down a huge amount of lights to a spot off shore where a hotel light has been shining for years. Then you sit on the bottom and get about 5 or 6 mantas, each about 6 ft wide and 3 feet long.

I used to turn off the dive lights and enjoy the natural phosphorescnence. A reef looks like a miniature city.
