Bonaire Dive 8 – House Reef @ Bonaire Oceanfront Apartments – Night Dive

85 ft/55 Minutes.  


Flouro Dive!  UV lights underwater are amazing!   It was similar to a blacklight show.  Fluorescence occurs when an object absorbs light of one color (wavelength) and then re-emits light of a different color. Do you remember the novelty shop posters that fluoresce under ultraviolet (UV) light? That's a good example of fluorescence.

Unfortunately my Gopro somehow was set to take photos instead of video so I missed most of the dive and the shots I was lining up.  No Worries, we did a second dive!  Lots of trash around from the sailboats mooring in the area.  We were constantly buzzed by an annoying Tarpon.

Being buzzed by 4'+ Tarpon is a bit intimidating at first.  

Coral, lit up by my UV lights.  VERY Cool.
