THe beach shot looks also looks obviously faked to me. The photo in the original post looks genuine, though. It's not that I have a hard time believing in giant jellyfish (the lion's mane up here get pretty big), but I've looked at enough "Weekly World News" magazines in supermarket lineups to be able to recognise a badly-faked photo.dherbman:Didn't see the diver photo. Clearly a PS job.
How about the beached shot? I also saw a few shots elsewhere that appeared genuine.
