We've been dive near our home in Harbourmille fortune bay for 4 years and never have we seen the jellyfish like there was this summer at 13:30 high tide on Aug 9 2011 we were diving in Little Harbour beach for mussels and as we descended in 15 feet of water all we could see were jelly fish thousands of them as far as our eyes could see the upper 6 feet to the surface was almost solid with them.
The vision was amazing under the jellys the vis was about 100ft. we could not believe what we were seeing our 45 min. mussel dive turned into a 45 min. jelly fish watch we were mesmerizer. Unfortunately we did not bring our camera. we did go back 2 days later with the camera the vis was crappy and there were still lots of jellys but not like the first time we loved to see them again but we wonder why so many jelly fish have come to the south coast maybe they were coming up the golf steam ahead of Irene. Anyone have any idea why they were here???
I'v seen this happened once before. It was late august and I made a dive at rattling brook in the Bay Of Islands. Thousands of jelly fish everywhere was a amazing dive I did have my camera and took some awesome pictures (I will try to dig them up later).
g2's link to an article was an interesting read, and it left me with a question (if they might replace other creatures as a dominant force in the ecosystem, for example)...can we eat them?
