MARINE STINGERS

Marine Stingers are jellyfish that occur during the warmer months of the year and are found mainly along the mainland coast but are also among the islands occasionally. Stingers are active from early October and are then present until the following May.
During the summer of 2007, there was only one sting in the Whitsundays. The chances of you getting stung without a stinger suit are remote but it is prudent to wear protection.

Chironex Box Jellyfish and the Irukandji, are classed as dangerous tropical jellyfish but by taking a few simple precautions you can minimise risks associated with these two types of potentially dangerous jellyfish. Stings are prevented by wearing Lycra Stinger protection suits while snorkelling or diving. These suits are very comfortable (in and out of the water) and also offer great u/v protection from the hot sun. These suits (if not supplied by the vessel) are available for hire in Airlie Beach for around AU$18 for 3 days. For more information on marine stingers please go to http://www.marinestingers.com.au
