Comments	The Pelagic Magic Night Dive is unique in the world. You are taken 3 miles off the Kona Coast in an ocean area well over a mile deep. The late night dive allows you to experience the daily upwelling of small pelagic creatures who spend the day light hours at great depths in the ocean. If you are interested in seeing the ancient life forms and small creatures that all the larger, more evolved, sea life eat, then this is the dive for you. While it is a bit unnerving to jump into the deep late night darkness of the really deep ocean, the display of small creatures is amazing (the largest life form I saw was squid moving by and feeding at about 20 miles an hour). I only wish I had more lights with me so I could see a larger area in the immense darkness. You are tied to the boat on your own individual 35 foot line. This is important because the ocean creatures come to you and you quickly lose a sense of where you are and where you are going in the darkness. During the one hour plus dive the boat had drift almost 4 miles with no sense of the movement on my part. Bring a camera, still or video ( you can also buy a video from Jack's dive locker), because there is no better way to report to your friends the strange creatures that you will see.
