...It may be a false security feeling but I still prefer to be covered in neoprene when I dive in these waters. At least I avoid many more stings by accidental brushes. But being aware of your surroundings is important because eg the blue-ring octopus is not aggressive but if you land your leg on it by accident it may bite, indeed. Sometimes one wonders how do we come back alive from these encounters! Posted 2 years ago
