Rocket Frog Divers

Rocket Frog Divers. The name itself just sounds fun, doesn’t it? This site off Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast is a favourite of ours for a reason. You drop down into water that often has a bit of a green tint, but don't let that fool you. The sheer volume of fish here can be astounding. We’ve finned through schools of middling thread herring so thick you could almost taste them, a silver curtain parting and reforming as you pass. It’s the smaller, more unusual finds that really make Rocket Frog stand out. We’re talking about spotting a signal triplefin perched on a coral head, or a curiche clinid darting into a crevice. Keep an eye out for the brassy and raucous grunts schooling close to the bottom, their subtle colours really popping against the substrate. Our pick for a good spot to linger is around any of the coral patches where the blue trim parrotfish often graze. The currents here are generally mild, making it a relaxed dive, suitable for divers who appreciate quantity and variety over dramatic topography. If you love a busy reef where something new always catches your eye, this is a great bet.
