This might help ease you into night diving which is one of the reasons we love scuba (as Quero's posted song goes, haha, no escaping it )
Thanks for that.

The night dive was just just after dusk, there was a half moon and for the first 10/15 mins when we were in 20ft of water, with some light coming down besides the torches. After we dropped further, thats when I got a bit panicky and clausrophobic - plus having to equalise, hold the torch, try not to bang into the reef(s), try and stay buoyant, try and keep an eye on where the instructor was and everything else...i think thats why I got into a bit of a state.

But I'm not going to give up and "no, never again going on a night dive". I'll have another go in about 20 or so dives time
