Diver's Notes

5 of 5 AOWD - Night Dive!

4 ppl. incl. Me, mom, dad, instructor & divemaster

We saw 2 sharks!!
- small Catshark - 30-40cm
- Nurse shark 1-1,5m

Enter from Jetty - had a pretty difficult shore exit (Got tangled in some fishing net or something)

Managed to touch 2 puffer fish (didn't know any better back then). Fish are less afraid in the dark. Seems to be attracted by light.
