Jellyfish Lake in Palau

There is an inland lake in an island of Palau that has a large population of non-stinging jellyfish. We had to swim around the lake to locate them, than swam amongst them for an hour until we got bored. After all, there is only so much you can do with jellyfish. It was quite an interesting and slippery experience. The sheer numbers are extraordinary.

 

The guy in this photo and I were the only ones that swam with just swimmers on for maximum experience, while most of the group left their wet suits on.

 

This shot was taken many years ago on a Canon New F1 with Kodachrome slide film.
