Would you like to scuba dive with Mola Mola in Bali? The Mola Mola is one of the most interesting creatures that divers will ever get the chance to encounter.
And while these fish are found in various dive sites around the world, one of the most beautiful places to see them is Bali, where clear water awaits you that is filled with coral reef systems that are some of the best in the world.
Scuba diving in Bali will give you the opportunity to encounter many species of marine life, including the elusive Mola Mola.
The Mola Mola is also frequently referred to as the Ocean Sunfish. It was given this nickname because of the animal's habit to spend quite a bit of time at the surface of the ocean, catching some of the warm rays from the sun, much like a beach goer spends time lying on the sand to get a tan.
Because of the animal's flattened body, you may have heard it called by various other nicknames as well. But even though people may refer to this incredible creature by different names, it certainly does not change the fact that it is one of the most sought-after species of marine life for scuba divers from around the planet.
The Mola Mola has a rough texture, is grey in color, and has a rounded body. In fact, "mola" translates to "millstone" in Latin, so it's no wonder that it was named the mola fish.
If you plan on scuba diving with Mola Mola in Bali, you can rest assured that there will be plenty of other gorgeous marine species to see as well because this animal needs to eat a diversified diet and a high volume of other fish in order to survive.
For example, the Mola Mola thrives on creatures like jellyfish, squid, small fish, and fish larvae.
Adult Mola Molas can reach a size of up to 3.2 meters, or 10.5 feet, and they can weigh up to 3,200 kg, although they average around 1,000 kg. And the great thing is that these animals are completely safe to be around and pose no threat to scuba divers what so ever.
