In a crystal clear video of one miraculous encounter off the coast of Italy, one diver meets a huge Mediterranean jellyfish -- otherwise known as a "fried egg" jelly -- who floats calmly nearby. The species, which appears to have a sting that is harmless to humans, can grow to be more than a foot in diameter, making the jelly in this video one of the larger of the ocean's fried eggs.
