night fossil diving

[Reef_Haven]

lol A dive bud of mine and I have been toying with the Idea as well. We were thinking of droping lights of the boat about 15' or so. and using our own personal dive lights as well of course. I dont think it would be to bad... sometimes the viz out there is top to bottom. were just thinking the 3-4 droplights would be an added amount of security. I know theres alot of sharks out there feeding at night. I only wounder if the light would atract them...... but like I said just toying with the idea....

Sounds like this would be fun in a couple months at the start of stone crab season.

That was the guys from Scuba Quest... Anyways, update, I'm guessing that the Night Dives will be better once storm season is over. Tried it Saturday night 8/14/10 around 8:30pm, and our visibility was horrible. It was still a fun swim tho! I really want to do a night dive, but I'd rather do it on a glass night. (When the Gulf is super calm and you only get "lapping" waves) I know it's a pipe dream, but I think it is possible.

Its possible.. Give it a few months.... Stone Crab Season sounds fun!!!! Ive been out in the gulf in the spring and winter when its so calm at night u cant tell where the sky ends and the water begins... Breathtaking!!! to say the least!!! that combined with good viz (6-10') and I would be a happy camper!!!!
