Watching the 100's of amazing fish that inhabit the reef is one of the primary reasons many of us dive. And the more we know about them the more fun it is. Some fish, like the Green Moray Eel are a no brainer... It's long and slithery, it's green, it must be a green moray! Others like the Squirrelfish take a bit more detective work. No fish that I'm aware of has a long furry tail and carries nuts in their cheeks. This class will help you answer the question, what da heck is that !

During the class you will learn to recognize many of the common reef fishes. But more important (and more fun) you will learn to be an underwater detective. Learning how to identify fish by their colors, markings, shape and where you spotted them and what they were doing. It's bird watching underwater. You are encouraged to start a life-list on your next trip. A listing of all the different fish you've seen. This list will grow quickly as you recognize more and more fish. You will soon be searching out fish you have yet to see by knowing what to look for and where to look. You will need to have a copy of Reef Fish Identification, 2nd edition. Many of you have this book already, if you don't it is available at our store. The course is designed by the writer of this book and follows closely his unique formula for grouping and identifying reef fish. The course is perfect for snorkelers and divers alike.
