What Is a Bioluminescent Bay? (Also called a Bio Bay)




Bioluminescent bays are made of dinoflagellates that live in the bay. When the water is moved in any way, the dinoflagellates glow. You can run your hand through the water or see fish swimming by the blue glow that is created. It is amazing!

Experience the magic of Bioluminescence

One of the most magical things you can experience is seeing the glow of 
Bioluminescence.
Bioluminescence is the creation of light through a biological process.
 In the ocean there are literally thousands of animals that have the ability to
 glow in the dark for a variety of reasons.
There are 3 varieties of bioluminescent creatures that live near shore
 in Caribbean waters, and are commonly seen. With right conditions
 the concentrations of these organisms is off the charts.
 Producing a one-of-a-kind visual experience

There is a small protected bay that is one of the best Bioluminescence Bays
 in the world. Millions of glowingmicro-organisms put on an amazing
 light show in the dark water.Watch your hands,
 feet and paddle glow magically and naturally.
Discover Mating Glow Worms There are many organisms in the marine world
 that are bioluminescent. In Cayman, like Bermuda, the polychaete annelid
 Odontosyllis sp. bioluminesces during mating activities that take place every month
 following the full moon.The females rapidly swim to the surface and emit a bright
 green fluorescent chemical that attracts the males who soon follow.

To celebrate Women’s Dive Day 2019 Divetech will bring together women hand in hand in an attempt to break their own World Record! In July 2018, 86 women at Divetech in Grand Cayman created a human chain along a 300ft line suspended at 15ft, thus ensuring the ladies were neutrally buoyant protecting the coral on the sea floor. Last year the charitable event raised over $3,000 US for the Cayman Islands Breast Cancer Foundation as well as raising awareness for women in diving globally across all disciplines including recreational, technical and Freediving. This year they are aiming for 100 women and for the event to be bigger and better! They are hoping for a number of the Cayman dive shops to join (bringing our dive community together), a raffle with lots of prizes (to help raise more money for the Breast Cancer Foundation), as well as local conservation organisations joining the event to raises awareness of island ocean issues, such as Lionfish as an invasive species.
