Not the way we prefer to jump on a dive boat - sighting 2 large sea wasp jellyfish swimming around beside it (a lad with a fishing pole was trying to remove them but I'm not sure he succeeded):
The first dive of our 3rd dive trip to the Keramas was off the southern side of this small (but tall) uninhabited island north of the main islands. There was quite a current so we began the dive heading into it (as any safe diver should, so the return is easier). We experienced some weight (user error) & therefore, buoyancy issues to contend with throughout the dive, but we managed a pretty decent experience nonetheless (despite the lack of reef sharks we were hoping to encounter).
