What can you expect?

Fish Identification is developed for snorkelers and divers who want to learn how to correctly recognize and classify fish. This specialty program offers in-depth knowledge about fish families, physical characteristics, and identification methods.

The oceans contain thousands of fish species in various shapes, colors, and behaviors. During this program, you’ll learn how to identify common fish families in areas including the Caribbean Sea, the Indo-Pacific region, and the Red Sea. You’ll develop observation skills that help you recognize more details and patterns during every dive or snorkeling session.

Fish Identification focuses entirely on deepening knowledge, recognition techniques, and more conscious observation underwater.
