Night diving is amazing. Once the sun sets, a new cast of nocturnal animals replace the reef dwellers of the day, and in the narrow beam of your torch, true colors are revealed in all their vivid glory. Of course, finding yourself surrounded by the utter blackness of the ocean at night can also be intimidating, especially for first-time night divers.
JESSICA MACDONALD, Scuba Diving 101: How to Adapt to Different Diving Environments
In seara zilei de 4 ianuarie 1995 pe o vreme total potrivnica a avut loc cel mai grav accident naval din istoria portului Constanta, doua nave sufundandu-se.
Una dintre acestea este nava You Xiu, sub pavilion Hong Kong. Purtata de valuri, s-a lovit de digul de nord al portului Constanta-Sud Agigea datorita problemelor aparute la motorul principal si a conditiilor meteo nefavorabile; valuri de 8..10m, ninsoare si vant puternic.
Niciunul dintre cei 27 de membri ai echipajului nu a supravietuit.
