This morning three local Scubaboard members (Dogenia, Kukuisa and I) joined for a dive to check if the frogfish was still there. Kukuisa and I found the frogfish about two weeks ago so we knew where to look. And indeed the frogfish is still there. It didn't move an inch since the last time. It is even sitting onhe same side of the sponge as last time. So there is a good chance it will be there for some time.

Some pictures of this morning's dive to give you some pointers where to look.

This shows the surroundings and the location of the sponge. the picture is taken from beneath the location of the sponge looking up towards the drop-off. The sponge is at about 20 meters depth and only a few minutes swimming from the beach in front of Down Town Diving along the reef towards the East. So the easiest way to find the frogfish is to go to a depth of 20 meters and swim along the reef till you see the sponge or other objects that you see in this picture.

Let me know if you were able to find the fish.
