Well, the SB and local kine self-charter night dive went off great tonight. We had 8 divers on the boat and we all had a great time. We first headed out to Angler's reef to hook some glow sticks to the buoy. Once that was done we headed out to the Corsair for our twilight dive. Conditions were nice. We had a little SE swell, but current was light and the viz was good. We dropped down on the Corsair with a smallish baitball (for the Corsair) and a huge Moray in the engine compartment. We all circled the plane a few times checked out the garden eels and then headed for the surface.
When we arrived at our next spot we hooked up to the buoy and finished out our SI. When we finally got in the current was up a little and the viz was down, but hey, its a night dive and you only need to see as far as you light. We swam up and down Angler's and saw a few large Morays as well as many of the fish "changing shift". Lots of Parrot fish finding their holes so they could tuck themselves in, the Pennant Butterfly fish in their night colors and even a rare "Splendid Pebble Crab" (thanks to Keoki's website).
All in all two great dives 8 fun divers. We are definitely going to have to do this again.
Thanks to Capt Pat, Ed (Roll221), Kevin, Sherman (Scuba and Dream), Cary (??), Agis (AGIS), JJ (VblueV), and Dave (Thatssomebadhatharry). I had a great time and hope you all did to. I am sure the rest will chime in and add some pics. I'll try to add some in a couple of days as well, but wanted to get this up.
