roatan diving

Got to do a night dive on June 7th With Reef Gliders in West End.  Great dive led by there instructor Cameron (I think) from Scotland.

Any way Seaquest is a nice easy night dive spot with a ledge at 15 ft and then a mini drop down to 45 ft lots of sand in front of the 45 wall so you can swim easily along and check things out.

Saw lots of Lobsters, Basket Stars out in all there glory and a puffer fish floating through. 

The highlight of the dive was actually the incoming squall which produced some lighting in the distance putting on a pretty good light show along with the bio-illuminescence.  We turned off our lights and chilled in the sand patch and checked it out for a while.  When the lighting would flash you could see the whole reef for a second which was really a cool view.

The best part is we surfaced, got on the boat, made it back to the shop, rinsed and everything before the rains came upon us.

Hi Mike

Glad to hear you got in the water among the storms, I finally got out sunday with coconut tree. Was a good dive from black rock to the point. I like that as a drift. Would like to get out further at texas itself as I suspect the pelagic activity is best here. Also saw before (not this dive) some sargassian trigger fish before and want to find them here again as they cant be found elsewhere and why is that I wonder???

I know cameron a bit, that dive sounded cool with the storm, i like the atmospherics of a storm and you must have had some real nice lighting going on by the sounds of things. Also SeaQuest must be a great place for the night dive (with all the sand), we only really do lighthouse reef as its close by, but its good there as well I just love the bio-illuminescence I will never forget my first ever experience of those string of perls. We also usually see octopus there at night often. Its a shame we dont see so many during the day.

Good diving all
