Last Sunday dive

Soooo... we thought the mobulas had already left until next year but last sunday we went diving not expecting to see any. We were wrong, it took us around 3 minutes to spot the first and it was 45 minutes seeing mobulas. There were a couple of times when I could see up to 9 passing in different directions sometimes very close...Great Sunday dive!!

This is a friend of mine with a D70 but he was with the 60mm. He got nice pictures too anyway. I was with my small olympus 765 ikelite ds125 and inon WA:

Nice! I really like the last one.

Yes, but different species. I am pretty sure yours is Mobula mobular. David's is probably Mobula thurstoni.

Haha, I have been diving for quite a while and I have never heard of a Mobula. Where are they usually found?

Yes, but different species. I am pretty sure yours is Mobula mobular. David's is probably Mobula thurstoni.

Our mobulas are thought to be mobula tarapacana. I think is very hard to distinguish one from another....
