My last night-dive was in a cold quarry in the mid-west in winter,
after a beginners-class had been kicking up the bottom-silt in the
afternoon. Dive-light? -- think "headlights and heavy fog"......;)
Otherwise, yeah, night-diving rocks -- not the least because a lot of
sea-critters are nocturnal and so out at night ;)
