Mola

Look for the body shape, movement and markings that make this animal stand out from its surroundings.

Watch before moving closer. Its direction, posture and use of cover reveal whether it is feeding, resting or avoiding attention.

Its most striking adaptation is closely matched to the habitat and the way it finds food or avoids predators.

Approach slowly, stay neutrally buoyant and let the animal control the encounter.

Mola is an identified animal taxon recorded in the PADI source data.

Search the habitat edges where food, shelter and water movement create the right conditions.
