Contrary to most people think, night diving is not devoid of colours at all. A night dive is actually a great privilege to witness bizarre, but beautiful things. Let these underwater snaps change your mind about diving during the black of the night.

1. Rove with an underwater rocket ship.

Discover the secret nooks of the undersea with this young Pyrosome found in East Timor. Let its blue bioluminescence guide you!

2. Algae, or mushroom?

No, it is not edible. How many of this neon green algae do you think you can find while diving in Asia?

3. Moon jellyfish gazing.

Aren’t these moon jellies ecstatic? But you may want to keep your distance—a puffy face when you ascend from your dive is not in the plan.

4. Watch these ocean lanterns fly.

Yes, also from a distance. Take your waterproof cameras with you. These little jellies deserve a snap.

5. Guess what this hairy creature is?

Anemone! Always on her great hair day.

6. Staring game with this green-eyed monster.

Beware. This squid’s hypno-disk eyes can lure you to a cloud of ink.

7. This is not a slug.

Would you still eat this reef squid if it’s this gorgeous?
