The boat engine cuts out and the lights turn off.

The captain jumps into the inky black water and immediately glows a beautiful emerald green colour. Tiny sparkles shoot off in all directions with each sweeping stroke.

You can’t wait to experience it for yourself. You put your mask on and hold it tightly as you jump into the water.

Instantly you’re surrounded by sparkling green flecks of light, that flash ever so briefly and then they’re gone.

You swim through the twinkling darkness and your breath catches in the back of your throat.

A real pinch-me moment.

Stay still and nothing happens, start moving and you’re swimming in a sea full of stars.

How can this be real?

Your shimmering green aura is mesmerising.

You wish you could stay in this moment forever.

Bioluminescent Plankton Snorkelling in Krabi, Thailand

Arriving in Krabi was a little disheartening, it felt empty and rundown and in my opinion, it lacked that authentic Thai atmosphere.
