Daughter Freaked Out by Tiny Night Dive Critters

[gypsyjim]

Besides bloodworms, schools of bait fish can go ballistic around diverslights, pelting you like hail. Turning light off briefly is only option, but I’ve thought of bringing a selfie stick with a light on it to hold the light remotely like a lantern and see what shows up to dine on them, such as squids, etc.

Have you done a "black water dive"?.

Have you done a "black water dive"?.

I wish! I night dive in a northeast shallow cove that has usually got silt or seaweed that interferes with black water effect people can get in clear water column warm water diving. Also i need a better camera with strobes, etc.
what I DO have is a mask attachment for magnification that allows for watching tiny critters, which is quite entertaining.

OK, wait... Sea wasps?? West-Pacific box jellies?

Yet "Caymaniac?"

Hopefully not something else I don't need to tell my daughter (or wife) about in the Caymans...? :shocked2:

No, not the Pacific type of sea wasp! The Caribbean has a much milder version of sea wasp, it will burn you but they are not super deadly like they are in the Pacific.
