Do you know?

Where you can experience underwater fairy dust? Well, it's in a secret lagoon on Grand Cayman and is one of a handful of places in the world where the phenomenon of 'bioluminescence' can be found.

Best described as underwater fairy dust, it is caused by a single cell organism reacting with the water which results in a green or blue light, and can be experienced on nights when there is a new moon.
