In a full moon, full water clarity, and shallow, yes it is very possible to have a visible safe dive. However as soon as you hit your light to charge your gauged to glow, your night vision is toast. So it doesn't make a ton of logistical sense to aim for that.
There are also safety issues such as buddy awareness; you will not be able to see your buddy's eyes or tell tale panic signs even in full moon light underwater and clear silicone masks. So between safety and logistics, I do not recommend doing this.
Even if you were to adjust to full night vision (which takes a very long time), moon light doesn't have enough intensity to add color, so you will still see dark silhouettes. The only difference is you'll see more definition between the silhouettes with better night vision VS worse night vision. Keep in mind this is all in very VERY shallow water w/ absolute clear clarity.
Getting a very low lumen light would be the better alternative. But then again, you'd now have to wait for perfect conditions to utilize it as intended.
You could zip tie a tiny glow stick to your gauges, but even a tiny necklace glow stick will corrupt your night vision.
Our eyes easily adjust to light; much quicker than it adjusts back to dark.
