Summer is the time when you only think of carefree nights at the sea, which include lying in the sun all day and soaking in the sea water. Well, after seeing a human-sized jellyfish, you'll wonder if it's even safe to go into the sea.
Anyone who has experienced a jellyfish sting has already met with hellish pain. But how would you feel if you saw a giant jellyfish in front of you, which is as big as yourself? Some have experienced this firsthand!
England's divers and explorers set off on a trek around the Cornwall coast and its depths last week. As they always did set off to explore the ocean, but this time they were in for a pleasant surprise – diver Lizzie Daly encountered a giant jellyfish while diving, 1.5 meters long. And luckily, she caught this fascinating moment on camera...and now we can enjoy it too!
The type of jellyfish that she encountered is also called scientifically Sea hat (rhizostoma pulmo) and is considered to be the largest jellyfish living off the UK coast. As experts say, people rarely swim with them, but they do can be traced in water from land. They are said to be non-dangerous and can only be seen by visitors in warmer times in the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Black Seas.
As Lizzie wrote on her website, she experienced an incredible experience that she did not expect will ever happen. He urges all lovers of ocens to take their time and enjoy the beauty, which hides in the depths of the water ... and caught her in the lens, among other things.
