Diving is possible year-round when daily sea state and tides permit. Cooler thermoclines and the main mola mola observation season are generally June or July through October, while manta rays may be present year-round; wildlife encounters are never guaranteed.
Typical conditions can vary on the day of your dive. Confirm current conditions with the dive team before entering the water.
Boat entry into Crystal Bay; route and entry point are selected for current, swell and diver level
Never chase mola mola into depth or open water. Maintain the guide’s side of the bay, anticipate thermoclines, respect the no-decompression limit and follow the local mola interaction code.
Wide-angle equipment suits the reef structure and larger marine life. Set exposure before entering current, keep the rig streamlined and secured, and prioritise depth, gas, buoyancy and buddy contact over the photograph.
