Dove with both of those. The jelly fish (fire something I think) stung a guy in my class while he was on the surface. He said he was ready to dive, bit his face was so numb he couldn't tell his mask was still on his forehead. Their tenecles can be 8 meters long! Same with the giant octupi.

Edit: don't forget the night diving! It's amazing here.
