Blackwater diving is essentially "throwing divers off a boat in the dark of night in open ocean waters that are, for all practical purposes, bottomless."
Sounds like fun, eh!?
So, after the sunset, we ventured 5 miles offshore of Kona to water that was 5,000-7,500 feet deep and drifted aimlessly around to witness the largest animal migration on the planet that occurs every night! This is known as the diel vertical migration and every night billions of animals, mostly zooplankton (smallish animals including fish, crustaceans, and jellyfish) migrate up from the deep, darks depths of the ocean to the shallow surface waters to feed under the cover of darkness. Always so hypnotizing to go blackwater diving! I feel like an alien in outer space!
