Went night diving on wednesday at cove 2 in Alki. We got in the water around 7pm, which made it dark. Really dark. We did a short surface swim (well, actually a bit of a swim) and then dropped down into 40' of water. The sensation of holding onto the bouy line, which descended into inifinite black, and looking up and seeing it ascend into equally infinite black with a few other dive lights floating around me was amazing.

On our way back from 100' and the "I beams" we got to see several baby squid, one of which perched on the end of one of the dive lights to enjoy the warmth. Probably the coolest thing was a seal that followed us down to about 70' to feed on fish that it would spot in our lights. Very cool.
