I saw phytoplancton glowing about 30 years ago, I had my ketch in the Caribean see, I spent the night swimming in their light, I keep this memory as an enchantment...
Your pics are fantastic!

It is quite Amazing if you look on the link you will see it even better and its all just small algae but what a show. I last saw this in my child hood in the tropics where it happened quite frequently. many thanks.
