Jellyfish lake and diving at Kakaban

I did two dives today with Derawan Ocean Dive, whose boss is Osland. Dive mates today were Simon and Karen, both from Netherlands (whom I met earlier in Pontianak). We were headed to dive sites off the island of Kakaban today which is famous for its jelly-fish lake, so it would save us a pricey trip on another day to swim with the stingless jellyfish.

Due to the lake having been cut off from the sea, they have no natural enemies and have hence lost their sting through evolution.
