Night Dive

SO i wnt scuba diving last night. I think night doves are some of my favorite dives. There is something invigorating about swimming around in a compleatly black enviornment with ouly a single light to illuminate the way. That being said my dive light is powerfull enough to make the forest seem like day in it's immedate vicinity but light does nto go nearly so far under water. I saw some huge shrimp atleast 25 cm long probably more. Not sure if there call prawn when there that big or not. Im not really sure what the differenc ebetween shrimp and prawn even is.

I went down to a maximum depth of 31.4m. I love my new dive computer, now i can finaly use metric like a normal civalized person. The dive lasted 35 min and if you know your tables you will undrstand why i like finaly haveing a dive computer, ie according to a dive table i should be in the hospital now.

I seal ran by us at the end of the dive. That is quite a startiling thing to have happen. When a large animal comes out of the blackness right at you, it can make you a little jumpy. Definatly sucked down a bit more air at that point.

I had 900 psi or air left at the end of my dive. Concidering the depth and time that is very good for me. Im realy starting to get good at controlling my air. Still need some mroe work on my boyancy though. Had a bit of trouble although there where a lot of depth changes going on in the dive and it had been a while since my last dive.
