Moonlight Dive

We get our bearings and drift down close to coral wall barely moving our bodies while the current cradles us. Like a conveyer belt, my field of vision walks by night blooming coral feeding on the dust of life. Bacteria light up to the force of my hand in the water as I swish my hand in front of my face and I am reminded of "tinker bell" from peter pan flying by. Ahead I see flashlights scanning the wall like a light structure in front of a new store advertising their grand opening. I am alone in this depth as I turn off my light, for a minute to capture nightfall in the ocean. I glance up to see the piercing moonlight and crystal threaded waves above gleaming as I swim on my back. In the shadows of the coral, I get glimpses of bacteria lights flashing on and off across the city scape like an opal turning its facets against the sun. A nocturnal puffer fish blows up its spines to look like a basketball. We stir ourselves up to the surface and breath the moonlight air. Our peek into the night of the ocean gave a rare look at the contrast of a world we don't see sometimes. Its sleeping right now and the night is awake. « hide more
