Our people getting into sea like jellyfish (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

medusas

'jellyfish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'our people getting into sea like' is the wordplay.
'our people' becomes 'us' (us refers to 'our' group or our people).
'getting into' indicates putting letters inside.
'sea' becomes 'med' (abbreviation of Mediterranean).
'like' becomes 'as'.
'med'+'as'='medas'
'us' placed within 'medas' is 'MEDUSAS'.

(Another definition for medusas that I've seen is " jellyfish".)
