"The fact that our divers discovered jellyfish on a regular patrol is really a special event. Drymonema was first seen off Dalmatia in 1880 by the German naturalist Ernst Haeckel and it was also seen in 1945. Later, it was discovered in Trieste Bay by one of our researchers in 2014, " said spokesman Miramare biosphere reserve.

"This is very rare. I feel astonished but I also feel as if I'm in the sight of a jellyfish. I feel like a jellyfish is smiling at me.

The jellyfish was huge, I was within range of touching it but I certainly didn't. I am very close, about 1m away. The whole meeting lasted about 20 to 30 minutes, " Kristian diver recounted the magical moment.
