Thanks for the comments.
They (Mola2) are already here (Nusa Penida) but the best time will be Sep & Nov when the water temperature lower then now (20~22C). Yesterday I saw many of them but at 40+m deep.

Nice! Molas don't like me - I spent 6 months diving in Bali and they didn't come close. Maybe I should change my aftershave.

Great Shots ej.

My wife and I are booked in for Nusa Penida next weekend so will be keeping fingers and toes crossed for similar luck. I presume your shots are from Crystal Bay?
We saw one there 2 years ago and have been back 3 times since with no luck, just got very cold.

Manta Point has always been lucky for us, been there 5 times and always at least 6 manta's playing around the rock.
