Dive No. 94 | Bali, Nusa Penida | Spot: Manta Point ..... Waiting for Mantas, suddenly very near myself i saw a small interesting Jellyfish which i havn't seen before. Tried to focus it with my video-cam. Than i heared the banger of our guide, think he would give us a sign for a arriving Manta. I didn't see it and decided to focus my view some more moments to the small interesting Jellyfish, but i couldn't localize it again. As much as i sharpened my eyes to see it in the wider area around me, i didn't found it again.
Some moments later a real Manta spectacle began  ..... (to be continued)

Dive No. 86 | Bali | Spot: Gili Mimpang ..... A big surprise at the end of the dive. Nobody said me before what may be comming up, even the instructor didn't wait for this, but his well conditioned eyes were the first which saw the up coming shadow at a drop off. The Mola Mola came up from the depth. I was really surprised about his size, from the bottom to the top fin he has around 2 1/2 m, extraordinary more than my height. It's an absolutely heart-beating moment. In the short time while taking this video my computer warned me about a too quick going up from around 11 - 13 m to the surface and suddenly i found myself in only 2 m depth. So i had to go down again. Mola Molas are living mainly in the deep ocean and only sometimes they come up to be cleaned from parasites which the got in the depth.
