Night Dive - Belize

This is about 6 feet long jelly fish kind of thing, probably common, but sure is weird

Oh very cool, a siphonophore. It looks very similar to one in Humann & DeLoach's book Forskalia edwardsi. They say "....the only member of the family found within safe scuba diving depths."

Thanks, one of the strangest things I have ever seen! So glad I saw it before running into it. Sounds like it is likely to sting.

Very likely. It's a good idea to stay away from anything jellyish!
