I’m almost certain, there are no jellyfishes big as this one, in the picture below. Never the less, I can’t seem to figure out how this illusion took place. It would be easy if the scuba diver was behind, and the jellyfish was just infront of the camera, then “relative sizes illusion” would be possible. However, it seems that the diver is infront of the jellyfish (or is he?). Can someone help me solve this?

I find it strange that people can’t believe things that have been proven to exist. Someone mentioned that this looks “nothing like a jellyfish on WikiPedia”. Unfortunately, WikiPedia isn’t always true. Don’t always assume that things as amazing as these are always photoshopped. It looks like a jellyfish, and for all we know it’s undocumented. Very strange creatures live in the oceans of the world. Don’t forget that.
It looks like an optical illusion, bt I think it iz photoshoped cuz the diver’s camera/bag/box/wateva is infront of the “tenticals”, and there is no thing jellyfish THAT big, and if there was I would be friggen scared if it was a real one, cuz wat if it stung you, you would like die,! Owell, itz still quite kewl. Hahaha. Got me thinking…..
If you examine the picture more carefully, then you can see that the jellyfish isn’t as big as you think… yes it is big but, however, if you stretch the diver, who is about 6′ then you still have about 1′ or 2 left on the jellyfish, so analytically speaking, this picture could be real.
this jellyfish is actually areal jellyfish… its called the lion’s mane jellyfish, aka the BIGGEST jellyfish in the world. I should know… i am doing research on it… the biggest one found was 8′ in diameter of the bell and like 120′ long tentacles. soo it most likely is a real jellyfish picture. hate to break it to you. of course it only live in cold waters. that could be a good sign. :)
No the diver and the jelly fish is suppose to be seen as the same distance but really the jelly fish is alot closer than the diver.
it is a real jelly fish and that thing in the water is jellyfish poo! it only looks like a diver because the water pressure at that depth has altered it’s original poo form.
it is obviously what doug said or a fantastic photoshop because if it is a real jelyfish not even a lunatic would get that close to it!
there’s bubbles above the diver
if you google this pic, you will find an identical image without the person on the same page.
Its photo shop, the scuba guy has no bubbles.
people this could be a simple as a toy being placed near a jelly fish imo.
isn’t that the man of war?
wow…mitch is pretty wrong…uhh, the light is shining weird so all the colors look off. on myth busters a couple months ago, they were talkin about how the pix of the first moon landing were SUPPOSEDLY fakes, cuz the light and shadows were weird. HOWEVER, they figured out that the lighting from the sun was placed oddly and that the pik was genuine. i think itz just weird lighting and the pik is real :)
LOKE IS A NERD AND NO I CAN NOT HELP YOU
I think it’s photoshopped. To me, the “jellyfish” looks more like an uprooted mushroom of some sort. ._.
I’ll chip in to this one – yes, it is a real jellyfish. I’m no expert but I’ve read about these things in hardcopy books on marine biology.
I’m actually a bit surprised that people are so sceptical it exists. The ocean holds some phenomenally huge lifeforms, and jellyfish are hugely varied and abundant.
there is such thing as giant jellyfishes like this one
I’ve sen giant octopi & giant squid, but I wouldn;t want to be in 100 feet of a giant jellyfish.
This diver might be small toy,I think…
Yes, it is a real jellyfish. The Lion’s Mane jellyfish are the largest in the world, with the body being several metres across and the tentacles being longer than a blue whale. I don’t know if this particular photo was photoshopped or not… I certainly wouldn’t want to swim near one… but it could very easily be real, since the Lion’s Mane jellyfish really ARE that big in comparison to a human being.
Well, I could only find these:

its a small model of a scooba diver
it is real, there is giant people there is giant whales who the FUCK sasys there isnt a giant jelly fish?
I HAVE BEEN TO THE BEACH BEFORE AND SAW A JELLY FISH AND I THOUGHT IT WAS PREEETY BIG BUT THATS SOOOOOOOO HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blow the picture up real big and you can clearly see the blurred blending around the diver. The diver has been photoshopped in and it’s a pretty good job but there will always be that tell tale halo.
Jeez, guys… take two seconds to read just a bit, and you can see how this pic is very easily not a fake.
“The Arctic Lion’s mane jellyfish is one of the longest known animals; the largest recorded specimen had a bell (body) with a diameter of 2.3 m (7 feet 6 inches) and tentacles 36.5 m (120 feet) long. ”
If you stretch out that diver to his full height (He is semi-facing away, and looks very small), you can see that the jellyfish isn’t vastly bigger than him.
Plus, if it’s a short diver, the jelly would look bigger still.
I’m 97 percent sure that is a real jellyfish, but whether or not it’s actual size…
omg if you guys think its fake Ur wrong. if you think its zoomed closer to the camera then look at how many tentacles it has !
umm that thing would be over 20ft in dia. if it was an unedited pic
That’s a real jelly. And it’s not shopped either. Jellyfish of tht size exist and a few have been documented, however I don’t expect them to be all over the Internet due to some people’s willinglessness to believe in what is real.
Well, the jellyfish is real–but not really that big. It’s not an illusion, it’s photoshopped. :) There ARE enormous jellyfish, but none so big as this. What I believe some of you don’t realize is just how AMAZING some artists are with nothing but two pictures and photoshop.
Let me also explain this: just because the jellyfish is big doesn’t mean it’s more deadly than a smaller one. The deadliest jellyfish in the world is the box jellyfish and can be smaller than the human eye can perceive unaided.
I took a class at school today taught by the guy who took this photo. He says it is very real.
