Fish Identification Specialty Course @ Marathon

“What was that fish?” It happens all the time and it is a common question after every dive. By nature, scuba divers are explorers and if you want to unravel the mysteries of the ocean and its tributaries, you will want to start your additional course work with 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.  The knowledge you gain here will carry you over to other oceans and help you identify fish with common characteristics in other parts of the world.  It will also make it much easier to do your research when you come across a species you haven't seen before through those common characteristics.
