Aw, it's probably not real... http://www.snopes.com/humor/letters/diver.asp / http://www.darwinawards.com/legends/legends1998-13.html

.. but it's still pretty darn entertaining.

Um... Captain Obvious here. I'm not an extremely experienced diver but I do go under a few times each year. Why wouldn't he just wear a dry-suit?

No problem, I got a really good laugh from it so I figured others would enjoy too.

I feel for the guy and can relate. I'll try to keep this as clean as possible. A couple of years ago wife and I went to Punta Cana , while out snorkeling I got stung by a jelly fish, ummm....right at the base of it. How it got in my shorts I dont know. VERY PAINFULL. Rumor has it that if you get someone to pee on it it helps with the pain. She would'nt help me out at all. I was damnded near crying and she still laughs about it to this day.

Surface supply divers wear hot-water suits to help with the cold, but they run it through pipes in the suit.

Thanks for the memories.....this one has been around for a long time.

My hubby was a Commercial Diver for many years, using that equipment.
The phrase "is this a jellyfish bad day" has been part of our "perspective keeping daily language" for years.

Happy Tuesday! May none of you have a jellyfish day today.
Cathy

oh, and he says the only thing worse than a jellyfish was the molten slag that burned through the wrist cuff of his suit and ran down his arm......
