This is a picture off the internet. Just to give you an idea of the glowing water. When we saw the diver, the water didn't glow quite like this picture shows.
After touring Ponce all day long, we continued driving west to "La Parguera." We went for a boat ride for 30 minutes and it took us to a bioluminescent bay. I couldn't capture it in a camera. In the bay, there are algae or something that are bioluminescent (they glow in the dark). While the boat was moving, we saw streaks of light in the water- it was really neat. Then when the boat stopped in the bay, one of their divers jumped into the water. As he swam, we could see the water glowing all around his body. It looked awesome! Then they brought up buckets of seawater from the bay for us to look at. As I swished my hand in the water, the light streaks appeared.
