From Hellyfish to Real-Life Stingers: The Fascinating World of Jellyfish

Jellyfish are found in all of the world’s oceans and come in various types, some harmless and others very dangerous. They are known for their stinging cells called nematocysts, which can inflict painful stings. Divers often encounter jellyfish during their underwater adventures, with species like the Lion’s Mane and the Portuguese Man O’War being common. As climate change warms ocean waters, jellyfish populations are increasing, posing new risks to divers and affecting marine ecosystems. Understanding these creatures is vital for safe diving experiences.
