Even cooler is that the Taiwanese snorkellers have a tendency to "sample" the taste of the jellies....now that is wacky!

the koreans actually eat jellyfish icecream. im serious
 
Here are a couple of shots from one of 4 Jellyfish lakes in Palau. I was at the one where the Survivor guys went to. Can't dive there because of the sulpher in the water below 40'. Kills divers. The lake has sort of a heat shimmer thermocline and it looks like there are heat waves in the water, hence a lot of long range shots are blurry.

I guess the one I saw definitely couldn't have been these ones.

You mean the one near the end of our last dive near Dive and Trek? It does look similar.

@matthew: the one we saw looked pretty weak, as if one more poke and it's ready to meet its maker.

sweet! is that toilet paper your holding? :)


Good eye Chip. I do keep 2 rolls actually in my strobes. It is a remote location and you never know. One was for me and the other was for the 2 women photogs I was with. It helps cushion the strobes as well, just in case I bump into a shark which happens much more often than you would think.
