Diving Underwater with giant jellyfish

Underwater photographers hit the jackpot

It was my 5th day of blue-water diving over the last 3 weeks for pelagic jellyfish in Southern California, and my 2nd charter I was bringing out to experience the jellies.

Dropping down our line, at about 70ft the water was getting clear. The ocean floor was 1,000ft below us.

Wow, we really hit the jackpot. A giant 15ft purple jellyfish, with an entire squadron of fish being sheltered, started to swim by.
