Video of a determined Frogfish fighting strong currents to get to his camouflage coral perch in deeper waters.
We frequently encounter this adorable Frogfish on our Tec Deco Dives. On this particular dive, the current was quite strong even for us with Scooters (Diver Propulsion Vehicles - DPV). To avoid being swept away by the currents, our brave Frogfish is seen using his "claws" to "walk" along hard corals and jet propulsion. Frogfish use jet propulsion by gulping in water through their mouth and forcing water out through their gill openings (opercular openings) located behind their pectoral fins. But with strong currents, sometimes even jet propulsion is not enough as you will see in the video.
