Commercial that showed family in glowing sea water?

Question

I saw a commercial and this family seemed to be some where tropical and at the end they were swimming at night in water that seemed to glow. Any idea where this was taken place?

Answer 1

South Pacific Islands.

Answer 2

With the new graphic techniques introduced the last few years, it could be in the swimming pool of your neighbor next door!

Answer 3

There are some places that have bioluminesent critters in the water. One of them is mosquito bay in Vieques Puerto Rico. You disturb the water and the critters glow. It was a nice experience.

Answer 4

Here is the reason it glows, and below is where you can find it :

Bioluminescence is the light produced by a chemical reaction that occurs in an organism. It occurs at all depths in the ocean, but is most commonly observed at the surface. Bioluminescence is the only source of light in the deep ocean where sunlight does not penetrate. Amazingly, about ninety percent of the organisms that live in the ocean have the capability to produce light.



VIEQUES ISLAND, PUERTO RICO

"Hidden along the Caribbean coast is one of the most spectacular Bioluminescent Bays in the world. The mysterious blue-green light is created by micro-organisms which thrive in an environment uniquely suited to their needs. A trip into the bay on a balmy night is a magical experience. Fish flash by in dark water, and a swim is like floating through stardust." - Captain Sharon Grasso
