Answer

If you encounter a jellyfish, the first thing to remember is to remain calm. Avoid touching it, as some jellyfish can sting and cause discomfort. • Gently swim away from the area to avoid further encounters. If you do get stung, rinse the affected area with seawater, not fresh water, to avoid aggravating the sting. • Seek assistance from your guide or fellow snorkelers if necessary. They can help you manage the situation and provide first aid if needed.
