    Stunning isn't it. I had the enormous pleasure of experiencing this sailing in the deep Western Pacific too, with the added intensity of dolphins darting around us leaving their incredible phosphorescent wakes behind them like vapor trails crisscrossing. Plus add their squeaks of chatter, sublime. That experience will never leave me. Thanks for sharing, John.

    There is something quite special about bioluminescence. I will never forget crossing the channel in a 10m yatch. The sky was clear and brilliant with no moon. Showers of bioluminescent sparks made our bow wave mimic the sky.

    Great video Alyn. I have seen this on a few occasions, some better than others and even managed to capture a video from around 100ft underwater whilst night diving in the Canary Islands. We turned our dive torches off and sat on the bottom playing like kids. With every wave of your hand it made your hand and the water glow like some kind of comic book super hero. The beauty of it and absolute wonder each time never wears off. Some events are better than others and if you are lucky to catch it without the moon in a dark sight it is truly breath taking. This looked like perfect conditions especially for the UK. THU.

    Hey Alyn, Just an FYI. I got one of those V Platform products and it fixed the problem I was having with shooting the milky way. Just attaching the ball head to the front of the tracker is really awful. Now I can attach the ball head to the V Platform, align it horizontally and attach the camera with much better movement.

    I’ve seen bioluminescence from Big Sur, just south of Carmel/Pacific Grove/Monterey. I’d gone out hoping to take pics of the Milky Way but coastal inversion layer killed that. Seeing the bioluminescence erased the disappointment. Hope to see it again someday and maybe even walk out into the water a bit, splash around and make it glow…
