Neon Nights | Diving into the World of Biofluorescence | A Sea of Hope

Illuminating the depths and revealing a neon display of biofluorescence, in A Sea of Hope, co-founder Paul Nicklen leads a journey through the night, diving into unfamiliar worlds. Using blue lights to capture underwater biofluorescence, one of nature’s most striking phenomena, Paul plunges into “a void of blackness.” Cutting through the dark with only his beam of light, he relinquishes control and uncovers the underwater secrets usually shielded within the dark expanse.
Paul, joined by friend and fellow underwater photographer Marcelo Johan Ogata unveils the psychedelic display emitted from certain corals and animals when observed under blue light. The lights reveal the incredible contrast of these organisms from day to night alongside the abundant aquatic activity that bustles under the cloak of darkness.
In awe of the incredible wonders of life in the deep blue, Paul and Marcelo ponder the consequences of our changing climate and highlight the urgency necessary to save these extraordinary ecosystems.

[@paulinepierret8959]

It was very interesting, the story behind the amazing video, this new perspectives on ecosystems. Thank Sea Legacy and Paul Nicklen to always bring us a new point of view.

[@sabrinella9346]

I totally agree! We need to protect this! I also wonder why studying the ocean is not more funded. We need to understand our earth to help it to survive. Of course it was the mistake of us humans that nature is at all at this position.

[@yushisushi6015]

Wonderful footage!!! Thanks for sharing and doing the important work you're doing!!👏🏽

[@alokworldreview]

[@lowerastral1963]

Nice video, but, there's no sound. I'm getting sound on other videos and on other websites as well, but no sound on this video. Strange.

[@rumbepack]

I wonder what's their underwater photography/videography setup.
