When I started diving back in 2006, I had only 8 open water dives in my logbook when I went to Australia and joined a 4-day liveaboard cruise of the Great Barrier Reef without even being sure what it would be like. The 4th dive on the first dive day was a night dive - my 12th dive overall. I loved it and since then have been hooked into 2 aspects of diving - liveaboard cruises and night diving. From then till now I have only missed one opportunity to do night diving and to date 72 of my 453 logged dives have been night dives. I love going looking for critters in nooks and crannies and sometimes finding something totally unexpected.
The other divers that I have met seem to fall into 2 distinct groups - those who love night diving like me and grab every opportunity to do so and others who will not be tempted even if otherwise vastly experienced. On liveaboard cruises especially, I have found that the same people gear-up for night dives with me and the same others sit it out.
So what do members here generally think of night diving?
