The deep sea is ruled by darkness. Sunlight does not penetrate much beyond 60 meters (about 200 feet) below the ocean’s surface. To see the animal life, gelatinous or otherwise, that thrives at greater depths, a submersible vehicle like the ones used by scientists in Monterey Bay comes equipped with powerful lights. To truly understand the life down there, however, those lights must be turned off. That’s when the native lights become visible--the ghostly blue flickers of bioluminescence produced by virtually every organism of the deep.
