What to expect

Once you learn to recognise the fish families, it will be easier for you to determine the exact species after the dive. 

For example, a butterfly fish in the Caribbean has a shape similar to a butterfly fish in Southeast Asia, although the color and drawing can be completely different. If you are able to identify the fish family that belongs to it, it will be much easier to look up the local name or at least speak to your instructor specifically about what you saw.

You will learn in two dives:

  • How to determine the characteristics of different local fish families and species
  • Techniques and strategies for fish observation
  • Something about the Project AWARE activities to protect the underwater world
