We strive to go to the islands every year and do day trips on boats taking us to the BVI and around. On our very first trip we were snorkeling at Norman island at the caves. Not seeing the danger I encountered a portugese man of war jellyfish mostly on my left leg. Another young man from another boat got it across his back and shoulder. He had to be taken and airlifted somewhere. I can't describe the pain I endured for that whole hour. The very next day I bought a 3mm skin to wear. There wasn't enough rum and benedryl that day, I'll tell you.
