Watch the underwater world come alive at Night!!

As the sun sets, you don your dive gear, slip on your scuba mask and bite down on your dive regulator. A deep breath and you step off the boat – into the dark of night. Although you’ve seen this reef many times before, this time you drop into a whole new world and watch it come to life under the glow of your dive light.

Standing on a street corner in any city in the world you are able to watch the dayshift people busy living their lives, stay on that same corner through into the night and you see another group of people, again living their lives so often completely different to the dayshift people.

Diving at your favourite dive site during the day you can watch the dayshift marine life living their lives, most of them known to you by now, visit that same familiar site through the night and the site is completely different to look at.

It often seems like the first time you have dived there, a completely new set of marine life busy living, often you are able to see the dayshift marine life sleeping in nooks and crannies.

The colours seem brighter, because of your torch light, plus, you tend to focus on what is in your torch light – the colours have always been there, just filtered by the water.
