Default Jellyfish in Cape Hatteras

This was taken on a dive trip from this summer. It is a jellyfish that came floating by as we were doing our safety stop.

Cool! Nice colors - similar, but the jellyfish still stands out nicely.

Looks like the two of you were close.

Very nice shot! I see a witch floating under a balloon - a picture within a picture! Great job.

Beautiful pictures Scubajen and thanks for sharing. That's a view that most of us will not see. I'm glad I didn't brush up against that critter when I was in the Outer Banks last fall

Thank you so much! As with most photography it is all a matter of the right place at the right time.

Very cool. OBX is a great place to visit. It seems certain times of the year the jellyfish are really bad. Excellent shot though. Scuba photography must be a lot of fun.

Awesome photo. I didn't notice the first time that there were fish tangled in his legs...
