jellies in Roatan?

[laserdoc]

Read a post that some people got nailed in Bonaire by some box jellies or sea wasps. Ended up going to the hospital. Anyone see these nasty things around CCV?
Doc,,,,you may know.

Your best bet would be to search this on CoCoChat. You will get a lot more answers there.

I saw what I thought were the "bad" jellies but the folks down there said the ones I saw don't really sting, they looked like quarters with teeny tiny tentacles. One of the DM's did point out a sea wasp/box jellies to my buddy but I didn't see it, we were on the orientation dive and I wasn't sticking as close as a buddy should.....

There were sea wasps at CCCV in June of '05. It took four people to get stung attempting shore dives at night before everyone realized it would be a good idea to turn off their lights until they got to depth.
