The Rangoon slips beneath the waves around midnight as the survivors and villagers in canoes pull away. Some of the many thousands of Jelly Fish (Chrysaora) that visited the SS Rangoon on this day. The captain cuts the engine and our dive boat glides to a silent stop. Miles away, right in front of us, we see the towering walls of the historic Galle fort. It seems that the Rangoon had sunk right in front of the harbour mouth. Eager to explore this historic ship wreck that has been lying on the ocean bottom for a hundred years. In an instance an amazing sight overwhelms us with its sheer beauty and magnitude. Pulsating all over the water at a depth of about 5 meters are hundreds of thousands of glistening Jelly Fish with long trailing tendrils. It takes us a few seconds to remember that we shouldn't be holding our breath and also that we should be exploring the wreck waiting for us below.
