Fish Identification – See More Than Just “Fish”!

Heading off on a diving or snorkelling holiday? The Fish Identification Specialty will transform your underwater adventures from simply spotting marine life… to truly knowing what you’re seeing.

This course teaches you how to identify the major fish families and species, recognise their behaviours, and understand how they fit into the reef ecosystem. From curious clownfish to elegant angelfish, you’ll learn the tell-tale features that set each one apart.

By completing this course, you’ll:
✅ Recognise and name fish families and species you encounter on dives and snorkelling trips
✅ Understand how fish interact with each other and their environment
✅ Gain insights into marine conservation and how to protect fragile ecosystems
✅ Become a safer, more environmentally aware diver or snorkeller

Whether you’re gliding over tropical reefs, exploring temperate waters, or preparing for a bucket-list destination, fish identification skills will make every underwater experience more rewarding.

It’s not just “a fish” anymore!
It’s a parrotfish, a wrasse, or a sweetlip… and you’ll know the difference!
