Jellyfish, turtles and more! (videos)

Jellyfish, turtles and more! (videos) - 07/13/2015 02:38 PM

So the recent Jelly fish discussions reminded me of what I saw July last year. I came up from a dive to a ton of Jellyfish in the water - large ones! The link below has a video of that and I also shared a few other videos on that trip.

And a tip for those diving with GoPros - try not to get too close... The turtle in the two turtle shots only moved because someone with a gopro got too close and disturbed him..

That was at Bronco Billy - I've never seen that many either - it was a weird sight to see since it was clear when we went in and then we came back to the boat to all of them. I felt like we were being invaded! It was cool though!

Moon jellies. They seem to arrive in clouds. Generally benign but can give you a mild sting if provoked.

So, I guess the best thing to do is to drink lots of beer, and have full bladders, just in case you need to help someone!
