First off a huge thanks to Gabe and company for making this night dive happen. We left the dock about 3:30 pm and settled in for a nice cruise up the leeward side. Light winds and the normal calm seas are always a welcome site. We set the plotter for a location called "Stars"
We all had high hopes about the night dive under the lights. Stars is a big carvern with over hangs, skylights, crags, nooks and crannies surrounded by walls exceeding thirty feet tall in places. Luck was on our side for sure as the mooring is on the north end of the cavern and with the downhill current and believe or not the wind flowing the same direction, the boat laid right over the cavern. We scoped back enough line to drift back behind the skylights which in our plan would allow the underwater lights to reflect through the dive site. It was an amazing dive and very comforting to most always be able to see where the boat was.
Here are a few pics that I took. I sure am not much of an underwater or above water photographer, sorry. The underwater lights are 150 watt metal halides and the lights on the boat tower are 400 watt halides.
