The best night dive to date and potentially the best dive to date. This was a black water dive where we left at 2100 and went three (3) miles out into the ocean, tethered ourselves to a boat, and drifted back to shore. It was like being in space. The depth was 5000ft below us and everything was black. I saw all the things that glow in the night. Venus girdle, seahorse, squid, weird glowing jellies. We even heard dolphins. I want/need to do this again.
