Trying to Meet Mola-mola :)




What a beautiful Ocean Sunfish or as it used to called, Mola-mola . This August is its season in Nusa Penida, Bali. Many divers used to go there to see these beautiful creatures. So if my hubby agrees, then this coming mid of August, I will go to Lembongan, a sister island of Nusa Penida in Bali, for diving with couple of friends, and look forward to meet with these gorgeous Mola-mola :)

The unique about Molaa, he has a rounded tail, gritty sandpapery skin covered with copious amount of mucus. Typically silvery in color with a slight opalescent sheen, and he can exhibit strikingly changeable spotty patterns. Mola presently hold the record for the world's heaviest bony fish - a 3.1 meter [or about 10 feets] long specimen weighed in at 2,235 kgs ! 
 
So can't wait to see a sexy-Mola in person ! :)

hi hezra, seperti si "mola" harus menungguku dilain waktu. karena aku baru adja memutuskan untuk menunda rencanaku dive di nusa penida. kondisi papah yang masih belum membaikku, membuatku ga tega ninggalin papah.

btw, justru pengen banget nyobain bersandar di dada mola...hehehe....
