Out in the Deep Blue you see a shadow. Then another. They’re huge; surely too big for any living fish? The shadows become more defined - a massive, almost circular body, immense fins above and below twisting subtly like sails. And now you’re within a few metres of the astonishing Mola Mola, the largest bony fish in the sea. It’s unforgettable.
The sloping coral reefs of Bali offer the world’s best chance of seeing Mola Mola, but it takes local knowledge and years of experience to increase that chance to near certainty. The best time of year is from July to October, the best dive sites on Bali’s east coast. But there’s a lot more to it than that; you need intimate knowledge of tides, currents, water temperature and of the giant fish themselves.
Mola Mola Sunfish Bali operates from Bali’s first purpose built dive centre, set on the sandy beach of a picturesque village right in the heart of Mola Mola country. Our European and Indonesian dive guides each have more than 3,000 dives on Mola Mola sites. It’s a combination that allows you to enjoy one of diving’s great experiences, and one of the world’s loveliest islands.
Ocean sunfish can be seen at all times in and around Bali. However, the most common time of year to see these huge pelagics is from July until September.
