My Best Dive

Did a great dive last night, a really outstanding one. We went out about 7.30, darkness descending and the seas pretty heavy. The sky was covered in clouds so there was no light from the moon, and the large waves meant that visibility underwater was pretty low. This all meant that that underwater you were in almost total darkness, you could only see something if you shone your torch at it- the feeling of disorientation this created was incredible, floating in midwater really did feel like being in another world. Looking at the surface occasional flashes of lightning could be seen, the rainstorms over the mainland giving the sole source of natural light. At one point we turned all the torches off, started moving our arms around to stimulate the phosphorescent bacteria- after a couple of seconds hundreds of little spots of light started appearing and disappearing, set against total blackness. There was no sense of perspective, my feet werent on the bottom- it felt like i was floating in space, the lights stars. Total disorientation, exactly what im going for out here.
