Wow, great pics. Super jealous! That frogfish looks like a little bitty guy judging by the starfish!

Vis was challenge today - 5-10 feet but did finally find my frogfish! Was mostly an octopus kinda cinco de mayo

Thanks! How packed was the lot?

Froggy was around 3" - found a scorpionfish that was a good bit smaller.
Lot wasn't ridiculous but there were at least 3 large classes going on. Didn't get front row but 2nd row wasn't completely full @ 0740 when we got there.

Thanks! Glad some critters survived The Great Purge.

Are there any official guided dives from any shops for BHB or do you have to request that privately? Or is this more a just go by yourself?
Wanting to maybe try it out for memorial day weekend so just curious

Check with Force E who are located just west of Phil Foster Park - they may have something planned. Memorial Day Weekend isn't the day I'd be considering unless high tide was before 0900. Lot will likely be crazy packed as will the water - just not relaxing in IMHO.

Pura Vida also is nearby. If they don't have something scheduled they will arrange a private guide. Helpful for pointing out macro stuff like nudis, seahorse, etc.

You can dive the site without a guide. But as the others are saying, a holiday weekend there will be a circus... Be prepared to show up at about 6am to get a spot to park for the 2:00pm high tide....
