上层魔术 - 夏威夷黑水夜潜水1zplay

Picture yourself going to the夏威夷an Islands，地球上最孤立的岛链。

You land in Kona, a small touristic town on the west coast of the Big Island, and board a boat. The boat drives at least three miles offshore, where the water is more than 3,000 feet deep.

The sun has set long ago and it is completely pitch black.

现在跳进去潜水。

Why would anyone in their right mind want to do this?当然要看到深处的奥秘！

Every night, oceanic zooplankton make their daily vertical migration from deep water to the shallows. It is thought to be the largest migration on Earth in terms of biomass.

对于潜水1zplay员而言，这意味着每晚都会表现出半透明和生物发光的生物，许多生物是科学不知道的。

大和小jellyfish，c骨，sal，许多幼虫物种，有时甚至是海洋白尖鲨晚上在开阔的海洋中漂流时可以看到。

The Dive

The Big Island of夏威夷从太平洋陡峭地升起，非常深的水域靠近海岸。

这使夏威夷成为体验公开夜潜水的理想场所。1zplay

Several dive shops in Kona offer上层魔术夜潜水1zplay（（也称为黑水潜水1zplay）只有20-30分钟的乘船乘坐三英里，到达水很深的地方。

A line, attached to the boat, is put in the water to hang around 40ft. Divers either hold this line or clip themselves to it to keep them at a steady depth throughout the dive.

因为您看不到底部，所以唯一的参考点是表面上的船（不要掉落任何东西！），然后船在电流占据的任何地方漂移，将潜水员与之一起。1zplay

然后，夜晚的怪异和美好的生物流过来只是时间问题。有些闪耀着自己的光，其他物种从潜水灯光中反映在梁中。1zplay

The Creatures

Looking out into the seemingly empty black, it takes a few seconds for your eyes to adjust and pick up on the thousands of tiny creatures.一些半透明的果冻样动物产生了自己的虹彩光。

通常，光变化的亮度并在移动时会产生图案。

许多larval stages of reef critters can be seen.Eel larva具有与微小的正常鳗鱼相同的形状；头是身体唯一不透明的部分。尾巴似乎只有一个线轮廓是透明的。

许多larval shrimpsand螃蟹can be seen scurrying about in the open water. Sometimes they are seen hitchhiking onjellyfish or ctenophores, and小婴儿鱼are riding inside the bells of jellyfish. Silvery glowingcephalopod hatchlings例如鱿鱼和章鱼are fairly common.

夏威夷有一个流行的浮力海马，只看到漂浮在开阔的海洋中。有时候，潜水员很幸运地在潜1zplay水期间看到其中一个或多个小型海马。

On occasion bigger animals show up too. There have been reports ofoceanic white tipsapproaching divers to inspect them, and even a fewwhale shark目击事件已被记录。

红色粉红色的学校深水鱿鱼are fairly common, and in winterhumpback whales迁移到夏威夷群岛。即使您晚上看不到它们，也经常听到他们的歌。

A wave of your arm will light up so many tiny glittery particles in the water and it won’t seem so dark anymore.

这种极端的潜水不是为了胆小1zplay的人，大多数潜水商店都要求潜水员在夜间潜水中有经验，并获得了高级开放水认证的参与。

这次潜水后，人们获得了一个有趣的观点。1zplay

很容易认为当你得到离岸而去from the reef that there isn’t much out there, but it’s the exact opposite. The ocean is filled with creatures- both big and small in all areas- even at night.
