i've been to 90ft on a night dive its quite cool but we always leave a trail of lglowsticks when we go deeper than 40ft its a safty thing you just pick em up on the way back to the mooring i do find that you get more life on the shallower dives
 
Rather than leaving a trail of breadcrumbs, have you considered running a reel?

I dove a wreck called the Dean Richmond in Lake Erie at night once. It was 110 feet down. Vis was usually 40 -60 ft. during the day. The water was clear so you could see as far as your light would shine. The 42 degree water seemed much colder at night. It was really strange, almost creepy. Especially knowing that the entire crew was lost when it went down in 1894. It was one of those dives that you never forget.

Yeah, most of our dives are 'night' dives, too, even at noon. The only difference is that it gets lighter as you go up.

Here as well. Once I get to 30 feet in the river I do not see any surface light. Even with a divelight I am usually looking at a max of 6 in. in the summer to to 2 ft in cold water.
