is this confirmed that they are there i am staying at golden reef right now as im typing this and would like to dive to look for one tomorrow (friday) my last day to check one out if some one can plz let me no a depth to look at for this yellow frog fish hanging out there.

if you go to the right when you get in at something special,
swim shallow over all the rubble, and then the bottom dips
down to a sandy bottom. the froggie it was at a depth of 17 feet.
the frogfish was actually inside a old torn tire. right where the big boulders
come to a point is where the tire is. If you can't find a tire,
look for an octopus burrow at the same depth. crab shells and etc mark
the burrow. if you find the burrow, 5 feet to the north is the frogfish tire.
sorry I can't give you better directions.:depressed:
hope this helps any way and good luck

sorry man,
glad you saw the octo though.
hope you have some luck snorkelling.
there are some cool things even snorkeling at something special
we snorkeled after our dives, and saw turtles
eagle rays, tarpon, stippled clingfish,
and some cool nudis.

Sully, fantastic pictures. I see you got one at Town Pier. Have they reopened it to diving? It was still closed when we were there in June and it did not sound good to get reopened soon. We are going back in October and are excited to dive it if open.

BUt.....one of the divemasters we know down therre said they
were supposed to be wrapping up repairs relatively soon, so it might
