Usually we have an image of a scary shark for our Real or Not? posts, but this time, we thought we'd mix things up a bit. You know: keep things fresh. So this week's image is a frightening one of a tiny diver and a huge jellyfish.
So what do you think? Is the image real or not real? (Don't forget to click "Add My Vote!")

28. OK. Zack, you're not one to tell others to learn to spell. Maybe you should spellcheck your own text...
and this picture is obviously manipulated. HELLO! check out the link. also, if you have photoshop, put both images in together, and it's evident.

30. news.nationalgeographic.com if this does not convince then i dont know what will this is obviously a real jellyfish and the diver gets so close to the tentacles because it is covered from head to toe which means it CAN NOT GET STUNG

33. As for the comment made by Lydia up in comment number 10 the image she is talking about at this link, http://diverssite.com/news.php?extend.778, is obviously a fake. You can see where the diver was removed from the image by using the area right above him to blend over him. This was an extremely amateurish attempt at photoshopping. I believe that the image above on this page is the real image. If it isn't real it is a far superior attempt at photoshopping than the other one.

21. it's fake obviously! look at the diver and look even closer at his flippers and look at the poor colouring of that thing he's carrying perfectly black from that angle yer righto, beside if it was real there would be more photo's and the diver probably wouldn't be so close to the tentacles
