Re: Any tips on night time diving with torch

Night diving seems to be a real craze this year. Lots of good idea above. Haven't tried it myself yet but some additional things mentioned by others in earlier discussions:
- go somewhere familiar & shallow (at least to start with) -- so you can stand up in it
- take a float
- mind the critters don't start eating you! [see Dorset 2007 thread]

I was thinking hand torch (Omer Moonlight) and mask torch (UK min Q40), maybe 2. Light sticks mentioned above & in previous discussion, for snorkels, floats & gear is a great idea. Crab hook with fish spike on opposite end?

Sam's moonlight idea sounds good (although I'd take a torch too) -- especially as full moon coincides with fishy Spring Tides.
