‘Twas the Night Dive before Christmas
December 24th, 2009 Posted in Luna Blog‘Twas the night dive before Christmas
And all through the reef
Not a creature was stirring, most were asleep.
The corrals were all hungry with polyps like hairs
Hoping that some plankton soon would be theirs.
Parrot Fish were snuggled in their mucus sacks
Hoping that this would prevent deadly night attacks.
Up on the surface their came quite a call
It’s the dive boat tying up to the site mooring ball.
Divers with BC’s tanks, mask and fins
Step off the boat to go for a swim.
With flashlights ablaze they descend through the dark
Knowing SAC rates will climb if they should see a shark.
The dive master directs them on which way to go
Hoping to see some crustaceans you know.
40 minutes later, we sit on the sand,
All in a circle, with flashlights in hand.
Switch off our lights, waive our arms, and what should appear,
Why bioluminescence of course, and strings of pearls I cheer.
The dive is over we ascend to the surface,
Climb on the boat, it is quite a circus.
As we stand on the stern what does appear,
A miniature sleigh with eight tiny reindeer.
It streaks through the sky so fast and alive.
I hear, Merry Christmas to all who dare to night dive.
