On the Cover - Photo donated to DAN by Yvette Oosthuizen: Compass jellies are a favourite of mine. For many months, we may not see them, and after a while, one starts noticing social posts about their absence being missed! When the time comes, the jellies arrive on the currents with the southeasterly wind, and I’m always delighted, along with my fellow freedivers and photographers. The jellies capture light in such a beautiful way – when you’re in the water, these luminescent, pulsating beings truly stand out. On this day, a fantastic boat trip took us out to where their food is: the algae bloom they feed on, also known as the dreaded red tide. Add a bit of heat from the sun, and you have yourself a jellyfish party. Even though I couldn’t see past my own fins, and my wetsuit and hair smelled like overripe prawns afterwards, I found myself very happy!
