Black water night dive. 2 miles due west of Honokohau Marina in Kona. Depth 2000+ feet. 2 Hawaiian sea horses! They were about 1-2 inches tall. We usually find them near the surface but we found these at depth. One at 70 feet and one at 40 feet. Many squid were attracted to our lights. The biggest siphonophore we've ever seen, at least 50 feet in length. Lots of salp chains, gelatinous mollusks, and critters in their larval stages. Very cool, as usual. You feel like you're in outer space, but really, you're in inner space and everything around you is glowing and pulsing with light. A high adrenaline dive for sure.
