Say Goodbye to Jellyfish Stings – Meet Stingblade, the Must-Have for Divers

Published

on

jellyfish stings

Let’s be honest—getting stung by a jellyfish can ruin an otherwise perfect dive. One minute you’re drifting over a stunning reef, the next—zap! That sharp, burning pain hits, and suddenly you’re in survival mode. Worse yet, treating it is often a guessing game. Vinegar? Hot water? Scraping with a dive knife or a credit card? Half the time, you make it worse.

But now, there’s a solution designed specifically for this problem. Meet Stingblade—the first tool made for divers, lifeguards, and water pros to quickly and safely deal with jellyfish stings. Compact, effective, and eco-friendly, Stingblade is about to become an essential part of every dive kit.

The Problem with Jellyfish Stings

Most divers have had at least one run-in with a jellyfish. Whether it’s a box jellyfish, a lion’s mane, or a stray tentacle from a Portuguese man o’ war, the sting is brutal. The burning pain, red welts, and potential for an allergic reaction can turn a great dive into a painful memory.

Removing the stingers is where things usually go wrong. Old-school tricks like vinegar or scraping with whatever’s on hand often make the situation worse by triggering micro-barbs, releasing more venom. That’s where Stingblade changes the game.

How Stingblade Works

Stingblade’s secret is its smart scraping design. The blade removes jellyfish stingers and venom without triggering micro-barbs—which means less pain and faster recovery. It’s fast, clean, and way more effective than DIY solutions.

And here’s the clever part: Stingblade floats. Drop it mid-dive? No problem—it won’t disappear into the deep. Plus, it’s made from recycled fishing nets, so you’re helping protect the ocean while protecting yourself.

Two Versions for Every Kind of Diver

Whether you’re a recreational diver or a pro, Stingblade has you covered:

Stingblade Personal Sport – Small and lightweight, perfect for recreational divers and beach lovers. Fits easily in your dive bag or BCD pocket.

Stingblade Super Blade Professional – Built tough for dive instructors, lifeguards, and medics. Designed for heavy use in high-stress situations.

Eco-Friendly and Built to Last

As divers, we care about the ocean. That’s why Stingblade is crafted from reclaimed fishing nets, helping reduce plastic waste. It also has interchangeable blades, so it’s not a single-use gadget—it’s designed to last. And since it floats, you don’t have to worry about losing it in the water.

From the Creator

Mark Dyer, the founder of Stingblade, knows the struggle. “Jellyfish stings have always been a tough problem to solve,” says Dyer. “I wanted to create something that works immediately, reduces pain, and helps people feel safer in the water.”

Mission accomplished. Stingblade isn’t just effective—it gives divers confidence and peace of mind.

An Essential for Every Dive Kit

Whether you’re exploring a tropical reef or guiding a dive trip, Stingblade is the tool you didn’t know you needed. Small enough to clip to your BCD, tough enough for professional use, and designed to work when you need it most.

Next time a jellyfish gets too close, you’ll be ready. No more panic, no more pain—just quick relief and back to the dive.
