Once you learn to recognize what types of fish you see, you’ll find it easier to reference the exact species after a scuba dive. If you know what fish family it belongs to, you can more easily look up the local name or at least be able to intelligently ask the local scuba instructor what you saw. During two scuba dives, you’ll learn:
- How to identify characteristics of local fish families and species.
- Fish survey techniques and strategies.
- About Project AWARE activities that can help protect aquatic life
Get credit! The first dive of this PADI Speciality Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification – ask your instructor about earning credit.
What should I bring?
Beyond using basic scuba equipment, you’ll want a slate to record what you see and a fish identification card if available for your area. We can suggest additional equipment or references depending on what you’re likely to see on your dives.
