| General Content |
You’ll find you enjoy your dives even more when you recognize the creatures that you see. You can use the skills you learn on every dive trip because once you learn the main fish families and characteristics it will help you decipher the species you see all over the world.
If you know what fish family it belongs to, it becomes much easier to look up the local name or at least be able to intelligently ask the local scuba instructor what you saw. That works better than asking about a “yellow thingy with a funny tail fin.”
You’ll learn:
How to identify characteristics of local fish families and species
Fish survey techniques and strategies
How to practice fish identification dive planning, organization and procedures |
