THE KEYS TO FISH ID

The first post-dive question 99% of the time: “How was your dive?” The reply 99% of time: “Really nice. But what was that fish?”

Divers rarely take time to learn how to identify the fish that they see. Knowing what you’re seeing not only enhances the dive experience, but it makes it more likely to notice unusual fish sightings. In this talk, Ken Kurtis will give you the basics on how to ID fish and figure out who they are. It’s a system that works worldwide, starts off with simply knowing a bit about fish anatomy, and segues into things to look for that will help you nail down the ID of a fish with some help from any of the fish ID books (and many of which will be available at the Scuba Show). The system is easy to learn and works in all waters of the world, so instead of asking “What was that fish” you’ll be able to say “Wait until you hear what I saw!”
