Anyone know where to buy the UV light and mask cover to do the fluorescent dives? Thanks

For just leading Night Naturalist dives, I simply use an Inova X5-UV stuffed into any 2xC cell u/w light. Inova X5 UV LED Flashlight
Could you expand a little on the process involved, cause that looks like the cheapest alternative, by far, and will be plenty for someone doing very rare night dives.
There is more to it than just a blue LED and a piece of yellow plexiglas; see e.g. FireDiveGear.com: Excitation Filters and FireDiveGear.com: Barrier Filters for explanations and illustrations why.
For just trying it out once that might be sufficient, but you may not get a very good result.
I only know of the Keys Divers (Fluorescent Diving in the Florida Keys or https://www.facebook.com/KeysDiverSnorkelCenter) on Key Largo.
See Steffen Beyer - Fluolinks for a list of manufacturers of fluo diving equipment, all the way from cheap to expensive.
