Humongous Sunfish Dwarfs Divers

When fishermen talk about the one that got away they just may be talking about this giant sunfish.

The September 2013 encounter, which just started to go viral recently, documents a sighting of a Mola mola off the coast of Azores, Portugal.

This species is found in tropical and temperate oceans and weighs an average of 2,200 pounds -- nearly as much as a Toyota Yaris. The largest Mola mola on record weighed a whopping 5,071 pounds, according to Ocean Sunfish.

I have seen some big creatures in the ocean while diving but not anything this big. What a wonderful experience that must have been.
