Great dive! Had forgotten how fun night diving is! Dived with instructor/guide Gary, Beth Rodgers & Ross Lyth. Definitely more life at night - maybe 5 cuttlefish, numerous small fish and a white spotted octopus! Very rare apparently; Gary hadn't seen one since 2006. Big bugger, not at all fussed about inquistive divers! Could have stayed & played for ages but left him alone. Again, could have had more bottom time but the others were cold in wetsuits! Also saw a sea hare as we were kitting-up; bit like a living leaf of seaweed - very odd!
