Ostracods (string of pearls)

[Superscubaguy]

I am going to be back on Bonaire October 3. This is six days after the full moon. Does anyone know if I will be able to see ostracods(string of pearls) doing their light show 45 minutes after sunset or will I miss it by one day? Does this only ever happen strictly five days after the full moon. My last dive in Bonaire I was lucky enough to see this event, it was magical.

I posted this in Bonaire Talk as well

Good info over on BonaireTalk.com for those interested! Essentially, these tiny critters show up 3-5 nights after a full moon and may put on quite a light show!
