Diver's Notes

First night dive ever! Started off questionably with me slamming my foot into the ground upon entry, wasn't a problem later, though.

Pat brought his giant camera with strongs lights so my flashlight felt more like decoration.

Saw a few lobsters, a very big crab, realised there were bioluminescent organisms around and saw a very odd crab towards the end - forgot its name, but it was rather flat with two big claws. Sculputerd slipper lobster? Also, a BIG green moray eel.
