Excellent night dive in Sandycove. Flat calm seas with hardly any current. Not a lot of life about, mostly crabs, wrasse and the odd prawn. Cold water temperature but I was very comfortable in my drysuit. Best purchase ever!!
I brought my GoPro Hero 2 with me on the dive but didn't use it much. To get any good photos I would have had to have had a lighting rig, must look into that next year. I shot a tiny bit of video but had to stop when we had to cancel the dive early as Mick was feeling the cold. Nice night dive, can't wait for the next one.
