Day glo: These shots were taken on the bed of the Red Sea

The bed of the Red Sea is transformed into a neon disco in these shots taken during a fluo-dive.

Ultra violet torches reveal the bio-fluorescent properties of marine life, transforming a scorpion fish electric orange, and glazing a water lily bright green.

A stony shelf of coral takes on several remarkable shades in the images, which were captured at depths of 49ft in the dead of night.
