A Leucothea ctenophore flashes through the dive lights while on a blackwater dive offshore of Oahu, Hawaii
A Ctenophore drifts up from the deep on Oahu's first pelagic night dive. Bioluminescing animals like this comb jelly migrate from their usual deep-water haunts to the surface every night to feed. Night diving in the middle of the ocean to witness this parade of mesopelagic aliens carries with it a sense of exploration and mystery. This is the last unexplored corner of our planet where your wildest imagination is unable to comprehend the naturally weird life forms that flourish out here.
