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.

Diving Wolf Rocks and Julian Rocks
by Fergy
- Jude and I left Townsville on three weeks holidays heading South of Brisbane to Murwillumbah in northern NSW, whilst down there I managed to do 3 dives.
