AWARE Fish Identification

Scratching your head wondering “which fish is which?” and how you’ll ever be able to tell them all apart?
Would like to add another element to your diving experience?

Interested in how to conduct fish surveys?

 

Starts with a discussion about the basics of fish identification, PADI AWARE and REEF. 

We then enter the ocean to start on our fish ID journey!

You’ll soon be able to identify fish families and be able to work out which species you’ve been watching too.

You’ll also be able to coordinate your own fish survey dive and add to the REEF Volunteer Fish Survey Project database.
