These nasty jellyfish ruined my dive at Mornington Pier in Victoria, Australia. There were literally thousands of them on the outside of the pier, and my buddy and I were reminded of "Finding Nemo" as we dodged our way through them.

Gotta love this shot though, the tentacles are about 1m long. This is my new wallpaper for my work PC.
