A lot of people ask me about night dives. I love diving at night, it's a true 'out of this world' experience for me. Many of the divers I meet are simply too scared to even think about making a night dive. They often ask, "Just how dark is it?" Well, this last weekend it was really dark! Want to see?
I was fortunate to have made two night dives during the 4th of July holiday weekend. One on the 3rd and the second on the 5th. It was exceptionally dark with just a sliver of a moon showing. I was able to spend over two hours underwater and saw some cool creatures.
Here are three of my favorite clips from those dives. Among other things, we saw a few jellyfish, lobsters, eels, a bunch of sea turtles, squid, spanish dancers, and a couple of octopus. These shots are of the Box Jelly, a Green Sea Turtle and a Night Octopus. I hope you enjoy them!
The Box Jelly pulsates around in the abyss.
The Sea Turtle swims in complete darkness.
An elusive Night Octopus explores it's world.
