Lights are managed carefully so ostracods and other glowing creatures reveal themselves naturally rather than being disturbed. The ocean around you pulses with blue-green light from ostracods and additional bioluminescent species. Your guide points out each display and explains the science behind the glow as you drift through one of the Caribbean's rarest night dive experiences. The underwater portion typically lasts around 45 to 60 minutes, with the full session including briefing and travel taking around 2 to 2.5 hours. 📍 Location Dives run at shore sites around Kralendijk within Bonaire National Marine Park.
