Diver's Notes

this is my first night dive.

i am afraid of the darkness. and to enlist myself to this dive is frightening. but it's a new adventure, right? soo,I brace myself and...dive

my guide arrange this dive to be not so very intimidating dive, so we started before sunset, there's a lot of light when we come down and not using our flashlight at first. he also taught me basic night dive signal with the torch, which is the "OK" sign and the "distress" signal. that's it.

i've never wear any other BCD since my lisence last march, and i pesume there's only one way to use the inflator. my first mistake. and i learn from it. no panic attack, thankfully.

it's a very magical thing, dive in the dark. i like it. just don't point my torch to the great sea...then i'll feel the dark is coming for me...

the coral which is bare in the sunlight, magicly full of tiny lights in the night, hundreds pair of shrimp eyes hiding under it. we saw a huuuge decorated crab with a giant sponge on it's back.

we also saw 3 spider crab nearby. the spanish dancer which supposed to be the star of the dive is not dancing, not yet...but it's perch under a coral, big and red and not interesting. only when we reach the surface that Bli Gede told me that THAT was the spanish dancer. too bad, i would love to see it's dance.
