Jose Alejandro AlvarezFrogfish sightings are some of the most satisfying for divers interested in marine life.
Snooping for frogfish off Bonaire is like playing a game of underwater hide-and-seek, but the fish you’re looking for doesn’t look or act much like a fish.
Antennariidae’s modified pectoral fins function more like legs, and although frogfish can swim, they also can walk on the seafloor — making for a peculiar sight. They often blend into Bonaire’s colorful surroundings and can range from ⅛ -inch to 22 inches in length. Make sure to ask your dive master to point them out; they might just look like a lumpy sponge to the untrained eye.
