Ever surfaced from a dive and wondered what that fish actually was? The Fish ID specialty teaches you a simple system for identifying fish families by shape and behavior, so you can recognize what you're seeing on any reef, anywhere in the world — not just memorize a local species list.
We'll spend two dives putting the identification system to use on Utila's reefs, which happen to be some of the most biodiverse in the Caribbean. It's a genuinely fun specialty that makes every future dive a little more interesting.
