This sounds amazing. What was it like? Where did you do it? Any pictures to post?

It WAS amazing. It was at Mosquito Bay in Puerto Rico...http://www.biobay.com/ I would encourage you to do this! It is like nothing you can imagine. My daughter and I thought it was fasinating. Unfortunately, I have no photos. I think it is nearly impossible to capture with a normal camera, and I even expect that the photos I had seen were actaully somehow "enhanced". The boat ride out just before sunset was really nice.

Fantastic - thanks for that. It's on my bucketlist now :)

I did this on a midnight swim near Arta in Mallorca. It was a complete surprise. When you move your arms through the water, the light runs through your fingers and then up your arms toward your shoulders. It's amazingly beautiful, and I've never forgotten the experience.
