[@KeyWestWaterman]

It’s a ton of fun!

[@jeffdrew8610]

Love the night dive. Amazing how tame the puffers were. We eat em in North Carolina. Delicious. Long ago I did lots of night scuba off the coast of Maine. It was other worldly. Once we settled on bottom, we always turned off the lights and marveled at the total blackness. Then we'd wave our hands and cause a fireworks display from the luminescent plankton. And just one time we had a school of squid join us. They were attracted to our lights and were bumping into them. Crazy. Too old for that now, so I'm depending on you. Keep em coming.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

they really are amazing, the bioluminescence is amazing! I will keep them coming haha! thanks for watching!

[@ravennelson827]

Aaron says we are going to the Zoo, awesome

Wow those night dives look so fun! Petting that porcupinefish was so funny 🤣 Great video!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

they are always a treat

[@margekaralis6127]

Wow, gave me goosebumps. Scary to us non-night swimmers or divers. Yikes. Loved hearing those underwater sounds. This is just so cool, Aaron. Easy for you to say, try night diving. Too scary . Petting zoo for sure

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Haha it’s a lovely place at night! Gotta try it!

Great Video! Underwater already looks like a different planet but at night it looks really awesome!

It really is!

[@rogerheuckeroth7456]

Thanks for sharing Will's channel. Love night diving. It's a different world down there at night. Also cool when there is bioluminescence. Cool to turn off the light and let your eyes adjust. Also, neat trick is when the little worms start following your light is to hold the light on a coral head and watch the coral "eat" the worms. Did not realize you could harvest those Spanish lobster at night.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

That is wild will have to get that a try! Thanks so much for tuning in!

[@richceretto5836]

Thanks for your videos, your fun yet layed back demeanor allows the adventure of your dives and fishing content to be the center piece while the fun you and everyone else is having is contagiously inviting. And now I must go to Will’s channel to admire the pizza 🍕🤣 thanks again and blessings to you all.

That's a good way to find slipper lobster. I'd love to try the Spanish lobsters, I've only had spinies and slippers from Florida and Pacific spinies in Costa Rica, and Main lobster from stores. I love them all. Cool video! Thanks for showing the reef at night, it's a different place without the sun.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Yup! They are the most rare of all. Spanish is amazing

[@edshmedly1]

My first time in the ocean at night was in Guam while I was stationed there with the Navy Seabee's and it was an absolute blast but definitely crazy when we'd dive down in a large group and we'd all shut our lights off.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

its pretty wild! love a good night dive

Great episode as always, no critics yet hahah, keep it up and thank you for sharing these amazing moments

[@mehdish3]

commenting as i'm watching like always, that was a cuttlefish indeed. Calamars have a longer body, pointy, triangular shaped head and longer tentacules. Their color is usually different too, if not camouflaged they look a bit reddish, thats why where i'm from, we call them "the satans of the sea" They also use their body to propulse themselves (we even study them in "rocket science"), unlike a cuttlefish that's more likely to swim with it's tentacules.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Very much so. Spanish is sweeter and more delicate compared to spiny. Love these night dives they really are amazing.
