Think you know your fish? The PADI Fish Identification Specialty teaches you how to recognize key features, group species, and ID what you saw after your dive - turning every dive into a discovery mission!
During the AWARE - Fish Identification Specialty course you'll go on 2 open water dives.
The first scuba dive allows you to enjoy a nice relaxing dive around the coral reef. You will be provided with fish slates along with a blank slate so you can take notes and will be practicing basic fish identification, while the second dive prompts you to plan and conduct a fish survey that will include recording fish families, species, their abundance and habitat. After the dives, you will discuss your findings with your instructor and log your experience in your personal logbook.
Topics covered include:
The Project AWARE philosophy about protecting worldwide aquatic ecosystems.
Fish family groupings and common characteristics of fish species found in the local scuba region.
Fish surveying techniques and strategies for collecting valid data.
