Glowing plankton at Inland Sea

This weekend we went camping at the Inland Sea - at around 11pm we saw something amazing in the water - when you put your hands in, the plankton start glowing in the dark!

We went in the water to swim and it was even more amazing - all around your body you see the glowing.

Has anyone seen this before? What is it?

UPDATE: Found this old post on QL which has more info!!

@zackm: Bring any arab guy with you or go to sea line and ask from them if anyone is going to in land sea then follow them other wise its not very easy to drive they are expert they know which way they have to follow... last month I went their I met some Yemeni guys their and they offered me to go with them so I followed the guy :)

Thanks God My vehicle didn't stuck in the sand...
