Country: Thailand
Duration:
01:00 hours
Description
Experience a magical night swim in the glowing waters of Krabi with bioluminescent plankton. Learn about the importance of plankton in the ecosystem and discover the difference between both plankton.
Experience a unique and rare sight: swimming with bioluminescent plankton in the waters of Krabi. This experience takes you on a night swim to observe bioluminescent plankton, tiny organisms that float lazily in the seawater.
These organisms can photosynthesize and are visible to the naked eye, and are major producers of oxygen. Swimming with these plankton at night will feel like swimming in a magical sea illuminated by their light.
Plankton consists of both animals and plants, drifting in the water column with the tidal currents. They are divided into: Phytoplankton (oxygen producers), which create their own food through photosynthesis, such as diatoms, the world's largest oxygen producers; and Zooplankton (food source for aquatic animals), which feed on phytoplankton or other animals, such as krill and jellyfish larvae.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
All participants are required to dive using the equipment we provide in order to see the plankton in the water with the naked eye. They are not visible from the surface because they are very small.
Photographing plankton with a mobile phone camera or a regular camera is very difficult because they are so small that they cannot be captured in photos. Specialized or high-resolution cameras are needed. However, participants will be able to see plankton in the water with the naked eye.
The accompanying images have been digitally enhanced to closely resemble bioluminescent plankton for illustrative purposes, as photographing plankton is extremely difficult.
Bioluminescent plankton may not be visible during certain times of The year.
This program is not suitable for infants, therefore we do not accept babies aged 0-4 months.
The program may be subject to change due to weather conditions, sea conditions and tides, and customers may reschedule or request a refund.
