It was maybe about 2.5m - 3m high from top fin to bottom fin. Was huge! Kind of awkward creature but wow! :o)

I just looked at other pictures and wow.. I would have been so surprised if I were you. I think this is the first time anyone has posted a picture of a Mola Mola on DiveBuddy. Or aleast I haven’t seen one on here. Again, thanks for sharing.

Wow. I’m going to google this for a clearer picture but this is a nice one! How big was it, do you think?

Not the best of pictures as I had my head in some corals shooting on macro when my 6th sense kicked in that something was behind me... and there he was! A beautiful Mola Mola cruising over head!
