I took a macro shot of a sea urchin on a night dive. My camera's strobe fired, illuminating its spines, which are made of crystalline calcite, causing them to glow.

We came across two octopuses at dusk. They are nocturnal, so this is the best time to find them, since they are awakening to hunt for crustaceans and mollusks.
