Life on the beach

Diving on Koh Rong Samloem is better than in Phu Quoc - much better visibility, more colorful corals, and a lot more and bigger fish.

Went swimming in the bay late at night. They have a kind of plankton here that fluoresces when stirred. The night was completely dark, there is no light pollution here and no moon in the sky, so every swimming stroke creates a bright trail of glowing bubbles. Very cool. I suppose the plankton thinks it's cool too or they wouldn't do it; the light attracts squid that feed on plankton.
