Diver's Notes

1st night dive. Skins and 16# worked great. Back to air for this dive. BigBlue TL3500P light on glove gave good point illumination; more than enough, and penetrated the dark water nicely. 4-5' long Tarpon use our lights to hunt...way cool. Saw our first wreck (La Machaca) to the north at 35'. Big crab under it. Saw a few eels and lots of bait fish running from the light (& Tarpons).
