The same body of water after dark is a different place. Fish that flee in daylight sleep in crevices. Creatures you have never seen come out. And the torch beam narrows the world to a few metres in front of you — which is at once the most unsettling and the most absorbing part of the dive.
You learn to communicate with torch signals, to keep contact with your buddy without looking at them, and to find your way back to the entry point when the shore is out of sight.
