One maverick marine scientist is on a mission to uncover for the first time a hidden world of glowing sharks invisible to the human eye. He will be diving with sharks at night utilizing his shark eye camera and hi-tech lights that mimic the light of the moon. A recent accidental discovery by researcher Dr. David Gruber illuminates for the first time a neon world of color that includes glowing sharks. He has dubbed this new field of science biofluorescence.

Sharks glow in the dark in a spectrum invisible to the human eye... until now.

Science does not yet know which species of sharks glow but Dr. Gruber is about to change that. Armed with his shark vision camera, he is setting out to dive the sharkiest places on Earth in search of answers, and the only way to discover them is up close with the sharks at night. His discoveries will provide more understanding into why this phenomena has evolved and for what purpose.

In the lab, Dr. Gruber has replicated the yellow filter built in to the eyes of sharks and engineered it to fit on a low light camera built into an underwater housing. The camera design only works with the proprietary high intensity blue lights designed and built to his specifications. The result, humans can now see the underwater world through the eyes of a shark.
