Why would anyone start a dive at 3:30am?

Jet lag? Tidal change? Specific marine life at that time? Slipped into the water? Had a bit too much drinks at happy hour?

Might not be uncommon depending on the game in the area, maybe trying to catch something before work? High tide? Get in before the surfers?
