I took a few images and converted the into black and white with Final Cut Pro X.
We were diving off the Red Sea Aggressor I and were on the Southern, St. John and Daedalus itinerary.
Wow those are some impressive stats. I’ve always loved the beauty of jellyfish but it does also help to know to use extreme caution as well at their natural defense system. Lovely. When they swim, it’s so peace inducing.
Agreed, they also make me a tad nervous but it always fantastic to watch them swim through the water column.
Nervous is right. It shows respect to what they’re capable of but truly beautiful. I’m Grateful that you get to experience that.
Nice info and video! I learned to scuba dive in Saudi Arabia when I was 12, so my first open water experiences were in the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. On one of our test dives in the gulf, we swam through a bloom of stingless jellyfish. They were so thick, it was like swimming through pea soup!
That must have been an amazing experience. Do you still dive in Saudi Arabia?
Afraid not. I haven’t been back to Saudi since 1990. But we’ve dived in the Azores, Greece, Tanzania, South Africa, the Philippines, Australia, and all over the Caribbean. So we’ve seen some of the same sites.
It’s very simple to find out any matter on net as compared to books, as I found this paragraph at this web page.
Good information and facts, Hank!🌀💧💦🐬
This was interesting – there must be some very big jellyfish in the ocean if they never stop growing 🧐🌊
I think the larger they become, the easier it is for predators like turtles to eat them.
Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t
mind me asking what theme you’re using? (and don’t mind
if I steal it? :P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours–
but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for “royal cbd” on Google
(would appreciate any feedback) – it’s still in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care
of yourself during the coronavirus scare!
Thanks! I’m using the Gazette theme found in the WP catalog. I would be honored if you stole it. LOL!
There are so many things to learn about the ocean
