Mola Mola 2

I saw this peaceful Giant at my Summer Vacation 09 at Crystal Bay in Nusa Penida. A small Island 1 hour boat ride from Bali.
There was a very cold and strong current preventing the Mola-Mola to gain any Momentum. So we could enjoy it the entire dive. It just wasn´t able to swim away because of the strong current.
Hope you enjoy

Hi Storymcmory, thanks for sharing this video!
I am part of a sunfish research project going on around Nusa Penida Island and Bali at the moment -
facebook.com/SunfishResearch?ref=hl.
We are trying to collect side-on photos of molas to identify individuals. You've got some great shots of the mola here!
Would you like to help our research by providing the data that go with this dive? It would be a massive help to us.
I understand this video was taken a while ago but if you keep a log or can find the information that would be sooo much appreciated! We need as much of the following information as possible:
• Date of dive
• Time you saw the mola/ or the start time of your dive:
• Approx depth of the mola:.
• The coldest temperature of the dive.
• A name for your mola! (If your mola turns out to be a new individual on our database it will be officially given the name you write here - we will contact you if your mola is named)
If you would like to contribute please send a message to the Sunfish research facebook page via the link provided above.
Thanks so much! I hope to hear from you!
All the best,
Jenny
