I know I sucked up a couple over the weekend. I'd love to see the end result or one after going through the pump.

few years ago we were heading out threw the pass (Perdido) and I jumped a boat wake (40' boat), came down from vertical, when I hit it felt like my arm and leg slapped the water, stung like crap, well, it kept stinging.... I looked down and I had all this goey mess hanging from my arms and wrapped around my legs. Little did I know that I had landed on a huge jelly fish.
stung like hell.

they alot the large number of jellies to the decreasing number of turtles on the coast here.

Gump,
This happened to you last year too. If I recall you got a little sick from being stung so much. Sorry I know that hurts. Nothing as discouraging as plunging into a bunch stinging tentacles. Have you tried Dive Skin or a 1mm Wet Suit they are a little thinner than the standard wetsuit and might not be as uncomfortable in the summer heat.
Try not to intentional suck up the jellyfish in your pump. What that does is make 100 of stinging tentacles and makes them into a 1000 stinging particles too.
