I don't know if this is the place for this, but I'm a snorkeler so here it is. Where can I find out about any new or interesting sightings of fish. I've got a list of fish I'd like to see, but some are Rare, others are just hiding. Any help would be great. Thanx

Hi Chris, try this site: http://www.bonairediveandadventure.com/thenaturalist.html
I've been looking into taking a Birding Tour with Jerry Ligon and I understand he's very knowledgeable about fish as well.

if renee is back to work after breaking her ankle she could help you immensely. nothing against jerry but i know renee. also, just talk to a lot of the divers and snorkelers you'll meet...they'll all be willing to help. some fish are truly rare...others, like frogfish and seahorses are there but really hard to see.

Thanx, I've been with Renee several times, my mom and she are good friends. I know of Jerry about on my last trip he was not around. On my last trip I logged 168 different fish, some with help from Renee and Susan Porter. Lately I've become very interested in the smaller fish,Gobys, Blennies, ect. Basicly anything thats hard to find or rare.

also, if you can get a hold of chile ridley, he could help. when jessie armacost used to have her fish ID program at old inn chile was one of the top fish finders/IDers there. (i really miss that ID program)
