A freediver has captured footage of a lion’s mane jellyfish as it drifted in the current in Port Phillip Bay, Victoria.

“The mesmerising dance of the lion’s mane jellyfish,” she wrote, describing the creature as an “angel of the sea.”

According to the Australian Museum, this species of jellyfish can grow up to a metre in size and its hundreds of trailing tentacles can reach more than 10 metres in length. They are found in coastal waters across Australia.

Angel or not, they can deliver a painful sting and are best avoided. Credit: onebreathdiver via Storyful
