A Mid-Week Night Dive

Well last night we went on a night dive at Taejongdae. Drew had a customer that was from Sweden and he wanted to get a dive in while he was in Korea. Tuesday the the 24th was the only day that he could get one in, so Drew told him that it was alright and that the conditions were good. Well I arrived at the dive shop around 5:15ish, no one was there and a few minutes later Drew showed up. We sat there for a bit and talked about what we were going to do during the dive. We then got some food and waited for the guy to show up. Well 6:30 rolls around and he is not there yet. The customer called Drew a few minutes later explaining to Drew that he was on the subway, but had gone past the stop that he was suppose to get off. Anyways, he turned around on the subway and headed back to where he was suppose to be, and Drew and I went out to go meet him. Well he finally showed up and we all when back to the shop and got his gear for him. We headed out after getting him gear, and on the way we stopped at the nicest ATM that I have ever seen in  GS 25. It actually had an English button on it, which is great to know that they had updated their ATMs.
Well we got to the dive center and the shops around it were busy with customers wanting to eat delicious seafood. We got all of the gear laid out and arranged. We then headed into the ocean. The visibility was about 1m (3.2ft) and the temp was 15C (59F).  On this dive the bioluminescence was really strong. It was amazing how it glowed green every time we moved in the water. Well we went down about 11m (36ft) and started to swim around. There was a lot of night life out. We saw some octopus, crabs, shrimps, sea hares, scorpionfish, and cuttlefish all of the usual animals you would expect to see at Taejongdae. Then from nowhere, there appeared a mackerel. I was really shocked to see a mackerel at that dive site. It was great to see that there. I can now say I saw a mackerel living underwater and not dead or cooked in a store. It is really amazing what different things you can see while diving in Korea. For instance on the second dive of the season, Drew and I found some sea horses that are never here at Taejongdae. Well we continued to dive. The customer started to feel cold so, we headed back to the shore. At the surface he got a cramp in his leg and Drew and I helped him out. The dive itself was around 43mins and overall it was a really fun dive, besides the low visibility. Again another great time diving with Busan Scuba.
