Dive into an otherworldly underwater adventure with fluorescent night diving in Curaçao. Known for its vibrant marine life and stunning coral reefs, Curaçao offers a unique and psychedelic experience for certified divers. This activity, available at various dive centers including Ocean Encounters, is a must-try for those looking to see the ocean in a whole new light.
Fluorescent night diving, also known as fluo diving or glow diving, involves using special UV dive lights and mask filters to observe the fluorescence of marine life. Unlike phosphorescence, which stores light and re-emits it over time, fluorescence absorbs high-energy light and re-emits it as low-energy light, creating a spectacular display of glowing colors. Under these UV lights, corals and critters you might have missed during the day come alive in brilliant hues of pink, green, and blue.
