Call me Green Lantern...

Kevin has recently acquired a new canister light - a Green Force model with a 10 W HID head. That simply demanded a night dive to try it out. So, he, Bernie and myself made our way to Murney Tower last night to dive the KGH wreck. Entry was made just as the Sun was going down in near perfect conditions. By the time we reached the wreck it was dark, and the light was really showing its quality. It produced a tight, white beam, highlighting features of the vessel really well. It also showed up a number of sleepy Bass resting amongst the old timbers. On the way back, several Mud Puppies were evident. This was a fun dive in water temperatures of about 48℉ (7℃). We spent nearly an hour underwater without getting excessively chilled. The return journey provided an opportunity to clean off the line, which remains easy to find and to follow.
