Scuba Diving at Jellyfish Lake, Indonesia

As you might guess, this lake is infested with jellyfish. Normally jellyfish live in sea, and this is what make jellyfish inhabiting the Jellyfish Lake unique, as well as the lake itself. These jellyfish is different - they don't knoe to sting. The point is that at the open sea their worst enemies are sea turtles and barracudas who feed on them, and stinging is the only way jellyfish could to at least some extent protect them. Since there are neither turtles nor barracudas in the lake, the jellyfish living there have lost their naturally inherent ability to sting because stinging have become of no use any more. And that's why secondly the jellyfish have become so fantastically numerous. Its's fabulous, nice place to dive at with scuba, isn't it?
