On another note, is the reef "owned" by Buddy Dive, or just the dock for entry? You can't privately own any access to the ocean here, nor can you own any part of the ocean or in it. You can walk along the shore all the way around the country, and no one would be able to raise an eyebrow. But I now realize that it's probably different in much of the world, which I'll need to keep in mind when I go travelling.
Ouch. First thought would be to flush with copious amounts of water as was done, but salt water, not fresh, as fresh water makes jellyfish nematocysts fire. Of note, vinegar was found to make nematocysts on chironex fleckeri box jellies fire as well, so it's not advisable for use on stings from that species. Hot water is very effective on stingray envenomations but I've never heard of it being used for jellies. I'm hesitant to recommend putting hot water directly on the surface of the eye, but if it worked to denature the venom in this case, I'm happy for the diver.
