Night dive with Thompa- chased an octopus which dumped oil all over the place. It was michaels first night dive which went very well. we both didnt get lost! We caught several lobbies which were just wandering around in the open water, easy pickings.
Thompa caught the biggest flatty id seen then it slid of his knife and got away ... Fool!
Very good dive.
