Lightless roomTurn the lights off. You'll be surprised at what you can see.
What you're seeingBioluminescenceWith your light off, the water makes its own. The blue sparks are plankton, flashing whenever something stirs them: your fins, your hand. The green rings are crystal jellies. Puerto Rico, where I was born, has bioluminescent bays where every movement through the water lights up. And here in Southern California I've been lucky enough to see it off San Diego: dolphins glowing as they cut through the waves.Click a jelly to meet it. Turn your light back on to continue the dive.
