Visions in Blue, Biofluorescent or UV Night diving on Koh Tao
Visions in Blue won 2 awards in 2013 and 2 in 2014. In Silently, the Short underwater movie festival Belgrade / Nečujno FKPF Beograd it won the Jury Award Best of Best and in the FMISM, Festival Mondial de l'Image Sous-Marine the Dimitri Rebikoff Prize for innovation (Prix Dimitri Rebikoff de l'innovation). 3rd place in the category camera in the Delfin Fest Underwater Film Festival.
UV Night Diving or Fluo Night diving is a mind blowing experience! Equipped with a vizor over our mask and a Blue torch we discovered a completely different world in the waters we have been diving for many years... The bright glowing reef is stunning and when we take a closer look we can see the polyps feed. On the sandy bottom, we discover that Flounders are orange and Devil Scorpionfish shine in pink, purple or red.
To be able to film this natural wonder, we got barrier filters for the camera and video lights from UV Dive Koh Tao. They introduced the Oceans Below staff to this magic!

UV Night Dive, Bioflurocent Coral Reef!!! Koh Tao, Thailand
Light emitted by a UV torch rises above the violet energy wavelength and into the non-visible ultraviolet spectrum. Bioflourescence is a natural phenomenon in which special proteins or minerals absorb ultraviolet light and re-emit it at a lower energy wavelength which is visible to the human eye. Countless organisms from fish, sharks, crustaceans, cephalopods, worms, tunicates, annenomies, amphibians, and even chameleons have been observed bioflourescing. With so many examples of parallel evolution, it’s clear it has a purpose; although there is much debate as to what function it serves. This Vide was filmed on Koh Tao, Thailand right off the shore in about 20 fow. With no white light, lack of visibility was worrying, but once I saw the first glowing formations of coral, fear turned to captivation as we explored this marine Avatar esq landscape. On this dive, I saw an elusive golden eel fluorescing as it poked out of its crevice but was too fast to film, too cool! ———————- plz like and subscribe????????????—————————-

Hidden Treasure, UV night diving, Koh Tao
Short movie on the wonders of UV diving in Koh Tao, Thailand. For those of you who do not know, some corals fluoresce under UV light. With a UV torch and yellow filter to block out the reflecting blue light, the sea glows in a mysterious way. To this day scientists still don't understand why they emit such a different array of colors under UV light, making it quite a unique experience. You get eels that glow bright green, shirmps that have glowing brains, anemones in neon greens and deep reds, the reef really comes to life.

Coral Reefs are made up by tiny animals called polyps. Every polyp has a number of tentacles surrounding its mouth, with which they feed at night.
Shining ultraviolet light during this time shows the magic of the coral fluorescence. Scenes that can't be seen by day show their beauty at night.
The reasons for coral fluorescence is still not yet proven. There are many theories, but the most certain and wishing one is...
... coral health.
I once held a photobook in my hands called
„heaven on earth
and I began to think
where was my personal heaven on earth?
there are so many beautiful places on our planet
but where is my heaven on earth?
what touches me?
what makes my heart run faster than everything else in this world?
well, I've been looking in the wrong places
my heaven on earth is not above earth
it is below
it is the foundation of all life on earth
WATER
in all its facets
here is one of my very favourite shades of the ocean
The glowing corals of the dark

Fluoro (UV) Night Diving on Koh Tao
Last night was the first time I went out with a video camera to film the fluoro night dive with Ties from UV NIGHT DIVE KOH TAO. Equipped with blue lights, yellow filters, a vizor on our masks, we went to Twins. It is a completely different world down there with the blue lights. With this specialized equipment you experience the spectacular fluorescence of fish and corals. When using a blue light with a specific wavelength and a yellow mask filter you can see certain organisms emitting fluorescent light. Green is definitely the most common color. After a 70 minute dive I came up with some very cool footage. We are already planning our next fluoro dive!
UV Night Dive, Koh Tao
UV night diving, also known as fluorescence or fluo night diving, allows divers to observe the underwater world in magnificent glowing colors. A lens filter for your mask/camera and a blue light torch is used. When you shine the torch on corals and fish that contain protein pigments, they absorb the blue light and re-emit the light in a different color. Through the mask lens, these colors appear brilliant shades of neon. Some examples of fluorescing species include anemones, some types of fish, coral polyps and both soft and hard coral.
Fluorescent or UV Night Dive at Sail Rock, Thailand (SJ4000)
Short clip from our fluorescent night dive at Sail Rock on the 25th of July 2015.
UV Dive Koh Tao teamed up with Oceans Below Co.Ltd once again to capture the miraculous and extravagant glowing creatures of this epic dive site.
This time on invitation by Blue Horizons Dive Center on Koh Panghan to help the Film Crew ,from a famous french TV show called Thalassa, collect some awesome footage.
I had the pleasure to spot interesting creatures for Elisabeth to film with her badass broadcasting quality camera and took the opportunity to take a small clip here and there with my tiny SJ4000.
Perhaps even the first ever fluo images on this camera :)
For more information on UV Diving in the Gulf of Thailand check
For the show Thalassa to broadcast we'll have to wait untill February 2016

Diving in Koh Tao, Thailand | Don't Stay Put
Koh Tao is unequivocally the most popular place in the world to go scuba diving, and with good reason. It's got excellent instruction at cheap prices, year-round good weather and a diversity of dive sites. And with its good energy and chilled-out island vibe, you'll understand quickly why people come here for a few days and wind up staying months.
If you're headed to Koh Tao, we absolutely recommend Crystal Dive Resort if you're looking for a bigger dive school with a busier energy and more divers (but still in small groups) or Good Time Adventures if you're interested in diving with a smaller outlet.
