    The bioluminescence is known as “red tide,” or an algal bloom, which is a large concentration of microorganisms in the water. On sunny days, the water gives off a murky reddish hue, and at night, when the organisms are agitated by movements, they emit a neon blue glow.

Came right up to our faces and said hello then darted straight away. Could see everything crystal clear with the blue light it really does look like this video here. I’m sure the seal could see up from hundreds of yards away with that light under the surface like that.
