icent and magical natural wonder.
It will be a magical, priceless memory to remember for a lifetime. The bio bay is best experienced during a “New Moon” phase. In the waters of Mosquito Bay, there are organisms named Pyrodinium bahamense, Dinoflagellates (dinos). These “dinos” are responsible for this amazing natural phenomenon.
When the “dinos” come into contact with another organism or shaken they produce a bright burst of blue light. The shimmering blue light comes from a dinoflagellate known as Pyrodinium bahamense. These tiny creatures discharge a luminous chemical cocktail whenever they
are disturbed, whether by the waves or a swimmer’s body.
