The Stinger Season & Great Keppel Island

I'm kicking myself hard.

I'm a British diver whose LP guide book said that box and other nasty jellyfish started north of GKI. So I booked a trip at the end of November assuming swimming, snorkelling etc would be worry-free on that score. Wrong, I learn, with all the certitude of 20/20 hindsight. And to think that before that my main concern was whether the local dive shops did Nitrox fills!

So what is the low-down on this? Are there stinger-netted beaches where my partner and I can swim and snorkel?
How about the situation at local dive sites? How prevelant are these nasties (including irakandji) on the Capricorn coast?

Thanks in advance for any help & advice on this...

Hi,

I'm a UK diver heading out to Oz in February. I just wanted to know what advice you got about diving during the stinger season.
