A cocktail party to benefit CCMI
Take a night dive on the coral reef and with the help of a special filter, you will be treated to a visual treat – the reefs vibrantly aglow against the darkness of the ocean. It is the phenomenon of biofluorescence that is responsible for this psychedelic display of colour – the process by which corals absorb certain wavelengths of light and emit it as pink or purple light – glowing and providing a serendipitous experience to the underwater explorer. These are the reefs at night. These are the reefs aglow.

DRESS: Cocktail attire, White & Bright
Join CCMI as we have fun at our ‘Reefs Aglow’ cocktail party! With white and bright colours – not to mention plenty of glow in the dark touches – we’ll feel the beauty of the biofluorescence of coral reefs at night.
Starting with a glow-in-the-dark welcome cocktail on arrival, this fun, lighthearted cocktail party will feature plenty of great food, live music, dancing, a 50/50 raffle and a silent auction. Enjoy this opportunity to share a fun and lively evening with others who are passionate about saving coral reefs and who share in our vision of vibrant oceans and healthy coral reefs for the future.
This vision begins with you, and we hope you will join us as we celebrate our oceans with Festival of Seas: The Reefs Aglow.
This is CCMI’s major fundraising event of the year and will sustain our operations, education and research programmes in the Cayman Islands for the year to come as we continue to return to regular operations. In fact, with our team of professionals in place, we have exciting plans to grow our efforts in research and education over the next five years, having an even bigger impact to the health of coral reefs that benefits the entire Cayman Islands community.
