Puerto Rico - The Magic of the Bioluminescent Bay

An absolutely surreal experience swimming in bioluminescent algae that inhabit this bay in Puerto Rico. One of only three bays in the world that the bioluminescent algae thrives year round, Parguera is one of the most incredible spots on the island.
Thanks Chris and Sam for swimming around where I told you to.

    I was there tonight and it was amazing. Maybe not quite as dramatic as in this video, but definitely a once in a lifetime experience. I would have stayed even longer of it wasn’t getting too late. The guide said that it can be more or less intense by the amount of fresh rain they receive. There was some last night, none today. Either way, it was so cool. It’s like swimming in a sea of glitter with no mess! Plus we had a dark starry sky. Such a treat, so lucky I was able to experience this with my family. It was like Neo in the Martix, but with blue glitter on and around your skin.

    La Parguera? Yeah, it looked like this, although the amazing lens and high ISO makes it seem almost a little more bright in this video, than real life. But it is still amazing.

    We just went at the end of February. We thought it was a hoax because we saw nothing like this. We had to stick our face in the water and if we agitated it enough, we saw some small dim flashes. It looks nothing like this.

    If you went to la parguera, is not as bright. the motor boat kills the plancton that makes is as bright. Try going to the one in vieques or fajardo.
