Wish I was there, the Mola Mola is still on my wishlist.

Was just there earlier this month just before the full moon... Did 2 lovely drift dives along Nusa Penida at Kental and SD. Vis was excellent at 15-20m but note that the currents may shift suddenly with the tides. Expect steep thermoclines with the freezing Australian currents plunging down to 23C (brrrrrr....).

It was a bit early for molas and I didn't see any but tons of other pelagics. The currents were a bit strong that weekend and we skipped Manta Point/Toyapakeh (must go back!!!).

don't miss out on this superb event

..Well, I wouldn't call it an event, it's not like all sunfish suddenly congregate and have a party. Let's just say, now is the start of the best time to dive in Bali. The diving is great, the island is beautiful but they are still suffering the effects of tourists being too scared to travel. Want to see a sunfish? Bali Bali Bali.

During the months of August, September and Ocotber, the Sunfish congregate in large numbers around a certain few dive sites. Last season divers were lucky enough to spend long periods of time with anything from 1 to 20 sunfish. Given that these sunfish grow up to 3.5m in height, I, plus a load of other people, would say that is quite an event!
