Right Place, Right Time

The best way to avoid jellyfish altogether is to be in the right place at the right time. Avoid swimming and diving in areas known to have many jellyfish, especially during peak season. You can even check a jellyfish forecast to avoid potential encounters that could turn dangerous.

Stay Alert

Even if you get informed about it before heading to the beach, it’s a good idea to stay alert when in areas with occasional jellyfish sightings. Keep an eye out for jellyfish in the water and on the shoreline, and don’t try to touch them or go anywhere near them to avoid the sting. It’s also a good idea to wear a protective suit and footwear while swimming.

First Aid Basics

Even if you take all the precautions, jellyfish stings can still occur so it’s good to know some first aid basics. Remove any remaining tentacles, rinse the sting with seawater or vinegar, soak the area in warm water for 30 minutes to release the toxins, and consider using painkillers and seeking medical assistance if you’re experiencing a strong reaction.

Wheeler was recently sailing on Ningaloo when she spotted something strange happening underwater. Puzzled by this, the 35-year-old diver decided to check it out. She put on diving gear and got into the water only to witness a once-in-a-lifetime sight.

As soon as Wheeler dived in, she became surrounded by thousands of moon jellyfish. These beautiful translucent ocean creatures didn’t mind the company and were freely swimming around allowing her to enjoy the scenery and even capture some of it on camera.

Check out the amazing footage captured by Wheeler below.

Daly was exploring the waters near the coast of Cornwall, England on Saturday as part of her Wild Ocean Week campaign which serves as a celebration of the marine world and also raises funds for the Marine Conservation Society. This was when she spotted a Barrel jellyfish, which is the largest species of jellyfish that can be found in British waters.

And while Barrel Jellyfish are usually 3.2 feet long and weigh up to 55 lbs, the one Daly saw was the size of a full-grown human.

“What an unforgettable experience,” – said Daly about the experience. “I know barrel jellyfish get really big in size, but I have never seen anything like it before!”

Fortunately for all marine lovers, Daly was in the company of videographer Dan Abbott, who managed to capture her encounter with this impressive sea creature on camera. Check out the clip below.
