Product Description

There are SIX distinct bioluminescence we look for.
1. “Big Blue”. This is where the surface of the water lights up with amazing blue Plankton.
2. “Galaxy” is seen when you move your hand or paddle just under the surface. The water lights up with tiny bioluminescent stars. It
looks like a whole new galaxy underwater.
3. “Iceberg” is a Zoo Plankton called salps. We believe it has eaten so much Phytoplankton that it glows continuously as it floats past you.
4. “Magical Fish”. These small fish are about 10mm to 15mm. They are thought to be eating so much Phytoplankton that they continuously glow. They swim around leaving a super fine trail of bioluminescence. Sometimes, you can even pick them up in your cupped hand, just
extraordinary!
5. “Fairy Dust”. An incredibly soft dusting of fine bioluminescence over the surface.
6. “Reef Sparkle”. Described as seeing underwater city lights. This type is found just under the surface of the water around reefs we pass by on tour.
