PADI AWARE Fish Identification Speciality

PADI AWARE Fish Identification Speciality

Have you ever been scuba diving and asked yourself, “What was that?”

The PADI Project AWARE Fish Identification Speciality course provides you with the fish identification basics so that next time, you know the answer.

The Fun Part
You’ll find you enjoy your dives even more when you recognize the aquatic life that you see. The fun part about this course is you can use the skills you learn on every scuba diving vacation because once you learn the main fish families and characteristics it will help you decipher the species you see all over the world.

Duration of the course

The Fish ID Speciality will take one day with 2 dives.

Prerequisite

PADI Scuba Diver (Or an entry level equivalent from another agency)

What You Learn
During two dives you gain hands-on (okay, eyes-on) experience in looking for and identifying the fascinating fish you see underwater. You’ll learn

• How to identify characteristics of local fish families and species;
• Fish survey techniques and strategies;
