Remarks

The first night dive with my camera. The lights are extreamly bright, which is good for video.

Droped down and began to explore. Some of the highlights were a piar of young lion fish, unicorn fish, a couple of sharks, and some shrimp hidding out in a little hole.

At the end of the dive when we were doing a safety stop we got a glimpse at a few sharks swimming in the open. Mark and I were holding onto the bar under the boat and the sharks were swimming just at the edge of the lights. We saw at least two swimming around. It was real neat watching them eye us.

The conditions for this day has been incredible. There is very little waves or currents. This has made the trip a lot of fun, because getting in and out of the water has been easy. Also, the lack of current has been nice for doing video. I tried to get real close to my subjects with the camera on this dive. My video instructor told me not to use zoom, but swim to the subject.
