Diver's Notes

FIRST EVER NIGHT DIVE.
Started my first night dive by getting my fin caught in the floating jetty and falling in which was hilarious.Quite comprehensive to start but felt really relaxed and enjoyed it.Saw a huge Moray Eel swimming which I've never seen before.Also surrounded by dozens of hunting Lionfish.Also saw 2 blue ringed Ribbon Tailed rays and an Octopus.Mohamed also showed us the bioluminescent plankton which was really cool.Amazing.
