Jellyfish at The Baths?

[theos on the go]

I noticed in a cc member's pics that there is a warning sign about jellyfish.

 

Did anyone have any problems with jellyfish while going through the rocks and snorkling around The Bath area?

 

If so, what time of year was it? Are they more prevalent during certain times of the year.

 

I really would not like to encounter jellyfish if I don't have to. ;)

 

Thanks in advance for your answers!

We were there in late May 2005 and there were no jellyfish. It was the most beautiful water and alot of fun. Can't wait to go back.

Thank you both. It's great to know that you didn't see any jellyfish.

 

That makes me feel better!

 

Can't wait to see The Baths!

We were there late May 2004 and early May 2005 and never saw any jellyfish.

We were there in Jan. and someone on the snorkel tour got stung on the arm by one and she tried to rub it off and it stung her even more. Someone from the ship had a waterproof safe around her neck and she had a Benadryl with her. They gave it to the women right away. They were going to take her to a clinic on shore but ended up pouring vinegar on the stings and put ice from the cooler they had on the tour boat. I was a little worried when we went in the water at the next port.

Thank you Tinkerbell. I will add benadryl and vinegar to the list of small items I bring with us in our beach bag.

Jellyfish really don't bother me so I don't bother with, but some people have mentioned this product. I don't know if it really works or not...
