Night dive - fantastic! Sety off with 3 divers & 2 DM including Jen (leading) into the sunset & setting half-moon. Find a sheltered bay & see lots of brittle stars, some black, some brown & white stripped arms. LArge slipper lobster & later a small baby one. Scorpion & other fish sleeping, so easier to photo. Hermit crab with fancy shell decorated with anemones - like a walking Christmas tree. And an active swimming octopus near end of dive. Ascend under stars & milky way - brilliant. Using camera Av priority (C2) - gives 1/60 @ f8 - better depth of field than Tv (C1), but need to wait a bit longer for flash to recycle. Ear's sore next day - visit doctor @ hospital, syringed - 7 days no diving...
