CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH OCEAN SUNFISH Yesterday we had the pleasure to see an Ocean Sunfish (Mola mola) on both our cruises. We also saw one few days earlier, so 3rd sighting this week / this season! On the afternoon trip this encounter was extra special as the Sunfish was keen to come close. After a few BREACHES (yes, a breaching Sunfish 😳 ) (screenshot in comments) it circled around the boat and decided to come very close!!! Here is a short cut of the video. As usual all sightings are submitted

These unique fish are the heaviest bony fish on the planet, weighing up to 5,000 pounds and measuring up to 10 feet! These slow swimmers can often be spotted on our whale watching trips, as they are known to bask in the sun near the surface. https://bit.ly/3Wc3x0R | Oceanic Society | Facebook
