I'm a new spearo this season and have enjoyed the nice summer we've had. Now it's dark when we all finish work so I'm contemplating night diving and I'm looking for some advice.
This seems rather dangerous considering it dark ( :duh ) as finding you're way around would be much harder. How would you be able to handle a torch and a speared fish? Do people mount them on their guns like a S.W.A.T team or carry them loose? Anyone got any recommendations for torches? Which is better for hunting, low light levels or high?
I'm a bit worried about wearing black in the dark an assuming some boat fishermen also go to sea at night, how do you avoid getting run over? If you go with a buddy is there more risk of having an accident in the dark?
Given that most fish behave differently after dark, where should you look for them? Usual places? Out in the open?
Most importantly, how do you convince you other half that you not going to die?
Night diving, judging from other accounts in the forum, seems rather wild and exciting and productive but I don't want to go rushing into it.
Cheers for any help
