Mom and I were diving at Crescent Bay a couple weeks ago. This little guy cruised past us at a depth of about 30 feet. I wanted to share because it's the first mola I've seen... anywhere... but also because I've read that molas grow to between 4 and 8 feet in "height". This guy was about 2 feet (just body, not including fins.)
Anyone with mola experience... was this a juvenile? If so, do they tend to stay in shallow water? I've been diving CB for years, first time I've seen one of these.
(oh, and the photo credit belongs to mom.)
Thanks!
