Fluorescence diving allows seeing a familiar reef in a new light. You will see something entirely different, the colours and formations can be overwhelming. The pieces of coral that were dull and gray during the daytime could be completely glowing from within. It definitely allows capturing some special images. This transparent fish is being backlit by the fluorescence glow of the coral.
