Powered up the coast yesterday in Poseidon Plongee's dive boat to near Cap Ferrat (I think), where we snorkeled (and some scuba'd) in clear tranquil waters about six to fifteen feet deep (noticed interesting underwater currents of warmer then colder water even at the same level. Most numerous fishes seen were schools (12 to 20 or so) of saupe which seemed to be munching on too-small-to-see isopods etc., which were apparently clinging to the sea grass. Also saw what looked to be wrasse, and when someone in the water began writhing and jerking, they were probably trying to get away from a nearby jellyfish. I believe one of the snorkelers on the boat (from another group) was stung by a jellyfishes' tentacles, but he did not seem to be in much agony... (When in Australia 10 years ago, we saw that swimming beaches had fine-mesh screens floating from the surface to about 4 feet down to protect people from box jellyfish, whose venom can definitely be fatal).
