Is it safe to scuba dive with jellyfish?

There are poisonous jellyfish (marine stingers) present in the waters around Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef at various times during the year. By taking appropriate precautions (wearing the lycra suits provided or for hire etc) and following the advice provided on the dive boats, scuba diving should be safe at any time. For more information on this, please see our Cairns Jellyfish Page.
