Put that together with what Sara has been writing in the Freediving stories thread and it makes me wish I was there right now. Really fun to read.

I'll second that, very nice article. Did the jellyfish stings feel like bad poison ivy? Was it itchy like a mosquito bite or painful like a bee sting?

Oh, and can someone fix the links please?

wet, it was itchy and painful. A mixture between sudden small electric shocks and then it would itch like hell. the jellies were long strands of "stuff" - up to about 2m in length. They wrapped around my head, around the rope, around our snorkels, it was alien-ish! :yack

My mate's lip swelled up after his experience, the poor darliing looked he had overdone the botox rofl
