Ultraviolet Diving with Underwater Kinetics UV Lights

- Опубліковано 27 кві 2014
- Ultraviolet diving, fluorescent diving, or "flo-diving", is becoming increasingly popular, for the simple reason that it can be a spectacular experience. Underwater Kinetics' tech expert Dr. Fred Fischer explains the science behind UV diving and introduces UK's brand new line of UV dive lights.
Some marine life fluoresce in brilliant colors when an ultraviolet light is shined on them. They light up in beautiful displays of red, blue or green, making for a truly memorable underwater experience.

Great Video! I have a W40VR torch which provide 410nm purple light and 365nm UV light (not 2 light in same time). Can you tell me which light mode is better for Ultraviolet Diving? And need I use a yellow or orange filter? Thank you very much!
If I want to see the microorganisms (biofilm/biofouling) in underwater environment, what kind of lengthwave I need to use (to see with filter and without)?
When shooting using a uv light source with a GoPro Hero 8, what settings do you use in the camera? Thanks
I just ordered my mermaid tail. Divers, you're gonna be able to see me under your ultraviolet light because I GLOW IN THE DARK! MUAHAHHAHHA!!!!
that's very sexy i like fish tail girls
I wonder if you might fit diving masks with a *flick in* yellow filter? Like a yellow filter that you slide into the mask to filter the blue light out.
hi Tom ! ☺️
@@lostpockets2227 Hi
Did you use your 395nm light or 455nm light ?
Hi Truites Farios The underwater segments are filmed with the 395nm Aqualite.
Do you still sell these two?
CAN I USE IT FOR SPEARFISHING AT NIGHT ?
Is Alan Uke still around, when I talked to him last he was going into politics, did he make it ?
Why not have a camera that can detect the UV light directly, that way you can see farther underwater? Then by using a color filter you could increase the contrast of the resulting image to match our eyes. Hmm a camera that also uses sonar and polarized light would also be awesome...
You missed the point. You don't see UV light. The marine creatures when illuminated with a UV light fluoress and produce a different wavelength (color) that is caught by the eye/camera. They do not produce UV light.
@@sergeig685 nope
@@lostpockets2227 yes, dummy, it is exactly how Uv light works

why is this uv not dangerous?
The UV light emitted from the dive light is relatively low in intensity and in very short exposure times. UV is only dangerous in extremely high concentrations and long exposures - neither of which are present with the UV dive light.
is staring at the UV light harmful to the eyes?
I don’t think unless you would be blind from the sun already cause you are exposed to it everyday just you can’t see it also the harmful would be the solarium lamps if so even for these u wear glasses only for precaution and that’s it
johnsarangel also I forget uv is harmful on high concentration which nowhere is presented might be it like you taking magnifying glass and use it on sun Kind off
I heard the night sky used to be very colourful. Especially the stars at night. Thousands of years ago. I assume pollution and artificial light changed the environment
for ameuturs, put a water proof LED flash lights, then use the sharpie scotch tape trick.
