Maybe you don't need light at 8AM but it helps others. Or it may work out the other way around for some, they may prefer it to be dark later. Some people start work VERY EARLY and for some having light the earlier the better. Which is better? an aircraft mechanic working on that early flight...

Hello Sergik, I've visited your country twice so far. St Petersburg in 1999 and Moscow, Irkutsk/Lake Baikal and Severodvinsk in Feb 2002. People were cutting holes in Lake Baikal and ice diving. The locals thought they were crazy. If anyone wants to read Sergrik's website try...

My ship the Kitty Hawk pulled into Guam for about 2 weeks and a chief in my squadron was trying to get a group together for an OW water class so I signed up since I've been wanting to get into diving for yrs.
