Diving all over the world bring you in contact with some fascinating and exciting creatures. Some large, some small. In this particular case most of the creatures are tiny members of the ocean community known as jellyfish.
Drifting through the oceans on the tides, feeding on organisms to small for the human eye to see. Each one of these images are a different species of jellyfish and just show the diversity within this family.
Water Jelly, you can see in side this tiny jelly is a small anemone that lives on the jelly. These to creatures have a symbiotic relationship and survive together as they float through the water.
This is a Red-eye Medusa named for the circle of red dots around its bell. These are used to attract prey.
Tailed Jellies can go to immense lengths, some up to 20 meters but are only as thick as a pencil. They attract prey with their orange light like structures along their bodies.
This winged wonder is called a Sea Gooseberry. These jellies seem to fly through the water by flapping their wing like appendages.
You never know what you going to see under the water, never under estimate the opportunity to capture something magical. Even the most mundane dive may produce some amazing results.
Thanks for reading and happy Friday everyone.
