Site adminMonday, 5 August 2024102 views

Explore marine creatures that are active at night and what you will see on a night dive that cannot be seen during the day.

The underwater night redraws the map of marine life. Creatures that hide during the day and fill the sea at night.

Nocturnal active creatures

Octopus and squid
Lillian par excellence. The squid lights up its body with amazing phosphorescent colors at night, making seeing it an unforgettable experience.

Crabs and shrimp
They come out in large numbers at night to search for food, and some of them glow a weak blue color when exposed to light.

Anemones
They spread their feeding arms at night to catch marine plankton and appear larger and more spectacular in lamplight.

Phosphorescent biological phenomenon

In some warm waters, there are microorganisms that light up when the water is stirred, so that the water at night appears as if it is burning with blue lights. Experience one of the most beautiful things in nature.

How to Maximize Your Night Diving Experience

  • Turn off your lamp for a minute in a safe place and observe the natural phosphorescence
  • Move slowly to give nocturnal creatures time to get used to your presence
  • Record what you see with a camera adapted for low light

Night diving reveals to you that the sea does not sleep, but only changes its face.
