Box Jellyfish Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines & The Region

Videos have emerged on Youtube showing box jellyfish being filmed during night dives off the popular west coast of Phuket. Experienced diver Joe Blasy filmed box jellyfish on three occasions around 20-50m off the coast of Kata Beach in recent months and posted his amazing encounters on Youtube.

Koh Chang joins a growing list of other Thai beach resort and fishing areas that have taken the initiative to improve water safety for all users.

"Everything was perfect. We were playing in the shallow water, looking for shells and little fish when, suddenly, Nela started to scream like in a hell. We had no idea what happened but brought her onto the beach right away. The boatman knew it already. In the same second he started to yell in his language, looking for vinegar in the first-aid set (but he didn’t find it!) while his helper found the killer in the water."
