Atlantic Adventures

We came across 3 sunfish yesterday. This one was getting a clean from a couple of gulls. The gulls pick out parasites, so it's a win win.

We had an amazing encounter with this lovely ocean sunfish on yesterday's Wild Snorkeling Adventure. We get to see ocean sunfish, or to give them their scientific name, mola mola, during the summer months. In UK waters, we see them up to a meter across and this one must have been about that size. In the tropical waters they can grow to over a whopping 3 meters in length and weigh over 1,300kg. We often see them lying basking on their side at the surface. It's thought they do this to warm their bodies up after diving down into cooler waters to feed. They mainly feed on jellyfish and salps but will also feed on crustations, molluscs and small fish. They can often be seen with a few gulls around them. The gulls will pick bothersome parasites from their body. An interesting fact: In most other languages they're called moonfish, you can see why.

With beautiful kelp forests, deep gullies and amazing wildlife, it has to be one of the best locations in Cornwall to snorkel.
