Plankton

The glowing (flashing) plankton are something special! It's hard to be specific because by the time you are swimming at night you aren't normally in a state for exact measurements. In Gokarna they seemed larger than I imagined plankton could possibly be? The flashes looked to be about 1cm long, and glowed very brightly for a second. In south Goa there are hundreds of flashes, but each only about 1mm long. The sea here is far more like glitter, but unfortunately the full effect is spoiled by a number of bright lights on the beach. This is palolem after all, no danger of losing track of land!
