Glowing dolphins swimming through bioluminescent waters off Laguna Beach, captured by Patrick Conye with Newport Coastal Adventure ✨🐬 This bioluminescent algae is a single-celled organism known as dinoflagellate. When startled they emit a substrate, lucifern, and an oxidative enzyme, luciferase. The chemical reaction results in an excited state that emits bioluminescence! | Ocean Conservation Research - OCR

A rare bioluminescent deep-sea squid swam with our ROV in the Seychelles. This species has only been seen in it's natural habitat a handful of times before, so we were ecstatic to capture this footage. This Dana octopus squid is not only very big, but it has the largest photophores of any bioluminescent creature on earth. You can see it flashing them at us in this video. 📍 Seychelles Want more squid content? Check out our YouTube channel to see when another large squid surprised us in the Red S
