Shiprock Night Dive 10 February 2010

Dive Location

This is a great spot for a night dive but you do need to be aware and watch out for boat traffic.

This site is a marine reserve so you should not take anything and leave the site exactly as you find it. We saw 2 huge Wobbegongs (Carpet Sharks), cuttlefish, lots of eels, I think they like the dark and I particularly liked the Christmas tree plants (?). I don't know there correct name but when you knock them they glow brightly with little green balls for a few seconds.

My buddy was Lawrie and the DM was Carl. This is a great night dive site that has to be dived on the slack tide, the currents in this channel are too strong to dive on a changing tide (unless you plan a drift dive)
