Jane had trouble with her ears so I carried on by myself. Night dive. Wreck very pretty, covered in sea-squirts with spider crabs, squat lobsters and giant sunstars. Fantastic dive - very relaxed (unexpectedly). Some phosphorescence too. | own | |

Excellent night dive - wreck, crustaceans, fish, phosphorescence, the lot. What more could one ask for? (A - an Ocean Pro) | own | |

Usual crabs, fish and stuff, and good phosphorescence. Short dive because Jenny was too heavy. | own | |

Jane's first dive with a dry suit. All went smoothly, except for my sinuses, which were hell. | own | |

Brilliant night dive - best yet. Sparks so brilliant and numerous that we could see our hands silhouetted against them, and one's buddy's position was marked by a column of luminescence from the bubbles. Nightlife was interesting - lots of blue-tipped blennies and some large crabs. Very good vis. Low tide. | own |
