How to Befriend a Mola Mola: A Gentle Guide

• Be a Guest, Not a Hunter: Treat the Mola with respect. No touching, no chasing—just pure observation.

• Give Them Space: Keep at least 3 meters of blue water between you and this magnificent creature.

• Silence the Bubbles: Try not to swim directly under them; your bubbles feel like a surprise to their sensitive bellies.

• Cherish the Cleaning Moment: When you see a Mola pointing upward, it’s enjoying a "cleaning session." Stay clear of its tail and path to keep the moment lasting.

• Natural Light Only: Skip the flash. Let the natural beauty of the ocean be your only filter.

Echo's Note: Despite their massive size, Molas are incredibly shy and fragile-hearted. If we treat them with kindness instead of curiosity, they’ll stay and share their world with us a little longer.
