Last Chance to Meet the Magnificent Mola Mola in Bali!

Imagine swimming alongside a creature so peculiar yet majestic that it seems to have arrived from another world. Its massive disc-shaped body glistens in the sunlight filtering through the crystal-clear waters of Nusa Penida. This is no ordinary encounter—this is your chance to dive with the legendary ocean sunfish, the Mola Mola, before they migrate away from Bali’s waters for the season.

Final call for divers! The Mola Mola season in Bali is drawing to a close, and these gentle giants will soon depart our waters. Now is your last opportunity in 2025 to witness one of the ocean’s most fascinating creatures in their natural habitat.

The Magnificent Mola Mola: Nature’s Ocean Oddity

The Mola Mola, commonly known as the ocean sunfish, is truly one of the ocean’s most unusual inhabitants. As the heaviest bony fish in the world, these gentle giants can weigh up to 2,000 kg and grow to lengths of over 3 meters. Their distinctive appearance—with their truncated, bullet-like shape and large dorsal and anal fins—makes them instantly recognizable and a bucket-list sighting for divers worldwide.

What makes the Mola Mola experience in Bali so special is the predictable seasonal nature of their visits. These magnificent creatures typically appear in the waters around Nusa Penida between July and October, when cooler currents bring them closer to the surface. As we approach the end of this window, the opportunity to see them becomes increasingly rare and precious.

Why Nusa Penida is the Perfect Mola-Mola Viewing Spot

The waters around Nusa Penida create the perfect environment for Mola Mola sightings due to:

• Strong currents that bring up cold, nutrient-rich waters from the depths
• Cleaning stations where smaller fish remove parasites from the Mola Molas’ skin
• Crystal-clear visibility allowing for spectacular underwater photography
• Protected marine area status ensuring these magnificent creatures can thrive

The Mola Mola typically ascend from the depths to these cleaning stations, making them accessible to divers who know exactly where and when to look.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mola Mola Diving

• What diving experience level is required to join a Mola Mola expedition? To join our Mola Mola expeditions, you should be a certified Open Water diver or above with at least 15-20 logged dives. The dive sites around Nusa Penida can experience strong currents, so some experience with current diving is beneficial. However, we also offer alternative experiences for less experienced divers who wish to see Mola Mola, including special guided dives at more sheltered sites where Mola Molas occasionally appear.
• When is the best time to see Mola Mola in Bali? The prime Mola Mola season in Bali runs from July through October, with August and September typically offering the highest frequency of sightings. As we approach the end of the season, the Mola Molas prepare to return to deeper waters, making these final trips particularly special as they represent your last chance to encounter these magnificent creatures until the next season.
• What makes the Mola Mola (ocean sunfish) so special? The Mola Mola is truly one of the ocean’s most remarkable creatures. As the heaviest bony fish in the world, they can weigh as much as a small car! Their unique appearance—with their truncated body, massive fins, and almost perpetually surprised expression—makes them instantly recognizable. Additionally, they’re relatively rare to encounter while diving in most parts of the world, making Bali one of the few reliable destinations where divers can predictably see these ocean giants during certain seasons.
