Notes: 

First Night Dive.  Really Cool for first night dive.  The blues of the water where much more intense and interesting.  Did not explore as much as we did when we explored this site earlier in the day.  I was a little apprehensive about doing this dive because it was my first night dive, but all went fine.  I did eat a lot of air.  When you are in far enough that you still are able to see the entrance, stop, turn off your light and face the entrance.  It is every interesting to look at and you can see the intensity of the blues, and it would also make for a good picture.  16lbs of Weight www.ginniespringsoutdoors.com
