            Fish Identification

            $100.00

            “What was that fish?” is a common question heard after a dive. If you want to be the scuba diver with the answers, instead of the one asking the questions, then take the Fish Identification Specialty course. You’ll enjoy your dives even more when you recognize the creatures that you see and can identify the main fish families and their characteristics.

            If you’re at least 10 years old and a (Junior) Open Water Diver or higher, you can enroll in the Fish Identification course.

            Product Description

            Academic

            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. For example, a butterfly fish in the Caribbean has a similar shape to a butterfly fish in Southeast Asia, but colors and markings may be wildly different. 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.

            Get credit! The first dive of this Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification – ask your instructor about earning credit.

            Equipment

            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. Your Instructor and Aquarius Scuba staff may suggest additional equipment or references depending on what you’re likely to see on your dives.

            Getting Started

            Stop by the dive shop, to enroll in the course.
