Thanks to a super cheap flight deal, I have a trip laid out to Bali in mid October. Basically I have 7 days of diving.
Initially the plan was just Komodo, with either Scuba Junkie or a cheap liveaboard. But considering that it'd be mola mola season in Bali, I'm thinking of either tacking on Nusa Penida to the trip or skip Komodo entirely.
Pretty much the only reason to dive in Bali for me is to see the mola mola, otherwise I'd rather just do Komodo dives.
So what is the best strategy of seeing mola-molas. Do they come and go on a weekly basis, or its more random on a per dive basis... If I spend the whole time diving in Bali and not spot any mola-molas, it'd be a wasted trip. Like do you have more chance seeing mola molas doing 1 week of continuous diving, or do one day of diving per season over 3 seasons.
I'm thinking of doing a 1 day Bali + 6 day Komodo trip. Or 2 + 5. If I don't see mola mola, I go pass Bali fairly regularly anyway so can do an easy sidetrip in the future.
