Nusa Penida Manta and Mola Mola Madness
When it comes to underwater adventures, few places can rival the enchanting beauty of Nusa Penida, a small island located southeast of Bali.
Nusa Penida is renowned for its rich marine life, and two of its most sought-after attractions are the majestic manta rays and the elusive mola mola, or sunfish.
Come enjoy a Diving Safari Bali with us and you will witness the Nusa Penida Manta and Mola Mola Madness for yourself.
From the breathtaking encounters with these creatures to the best diving spots and underwater photography tips, we've got it all covered.
The Manta Ray Ballet
One of the main reasons divers love Nusa Penida is to witness the mesmerizing dance of the manta rays.
These gentle giants, with wingspans that can exceed 5 meters gracefully glide through the crystal-clear waters.
The nutrient-rich currents around Nusa Penida attract plankton, the primary food source for mantas, creating a haven for these magnificent creatures.
Manta Point: The Epitome of Manta Magic
Manta Point is the go-to spot for manta ray encounters. An important part of the life of the mantas revolves around “cleaning stations”.
Here, manta rays wait their turn until they can be cleaned. Wrasses and other small fish are always ready to remove dead skin and parasites from those giants.
This dive site is aptly named, as it guarantees a front-row seat to the manta ray ballet. Divers can often spot multiple mantas gracefully somersaulting and soaring through the water.
Don't forget your camera because this is a spectacle you'll want to capture.
The Enigmatic Mola Mola
Meeting the Ocean's Oddity
The mola mola, or sunfish, is another star of Nusa Penida underwater world.
These bizarre-looking creatures can weigh up to a ton and are known for their unique appearance and behavior.
They are a true bucket-list sighting for any diver and even ore for underwater photographers.
Crystal Bay: The Mola Mola Hangout
Crystal Bay is renowned for mola mola sightings. These giant fish can be found here, especially during the warmer months when the water gets really cold.
Divers should be prepared for a thrilling adventure as they seek out these mysterious ocean dwellers.
Experienced divers will make amazing pictures when the mola ola come to shallower water to be cleaned up by bannerfish.
Come get a selfie with the mola mola with us at Ploufdiving Bali. We'll help you for all your diving needs around Bali.
