Very long time ago in a galaxy far far away decided to go for a night swim while on a sea-side vacation. All was well, but something was off. It took some time to realize that the water was glowing with every movement. The faster I'd go, the more pronounced the light was. It faded very quickly, but was still very much visible if paid a little attention.
That was as unexpected as it gets. I heard of bioluminescence before that, but it was just so mesmerizing and mind-blowing to see it in real life. Very very cool.
- jbjohns 5y agoI saw a clip from a Joe Rogan podcast some time back about a man who was doing long distance swimming. He was dropped off in the ocean in the middle of the night and had to swim toward the cost or some islands or something. With the boat out of view and no light pollution, what he could see was the stars above and the lights all in the water. If I recall correctly he said something like it became hard to tell where one ended and the other began and he had the feeling of flying through space.
