Last week, in Belize, I was chased out of the water on a pier night dive.

No one had dived off this pier at night before. I was in with my camera and lights. As I was taking a picture of a moray, I pointed the camera up and saw a sea wasp (box jellyfish) swim by my head!!! I got out right away. Knowing that they are attracted to light, I went onto the dock with a light tied to a rope. I dangled it into the water and 11 box jelly fish swam into the light!! It was amazing to see them swim back and forth in the light hunting the other things attracted to the light. They swim FAST too.

I'm not scared of sharks, barracudas, or rays, but I have to admit that these little box jellies gave me the heebie jeebies.
