A MOLA MOLA. On an Open Water course. 🤯 Some divers spend twenty years chasing an ocean sunfish and never see one. Annabelle, Charles, Claire, Christian, Deborah, Ieva, James, Tamara, Tiara and Yannick saw one on their Open Water course. Mola mola are the heaviest bony fish in the ocean — enormous, strange, almost prehistoric-looking, and almost never seen by divers off Sydney. To have one turn up while a group of brand new divers were in the water is genuinely extraordinary. And that wasn't all. Port Jackson sharks on the sand, blue groper cruising in for a look, and an eastern red scorpionfish sitting motionless for anyone sharp enough to spot it. The day finished with a 15-metre dive and ten very happy new divers. Congratulations to all ten of you. Fair warning though — it does not usually go like this. 😄
