AWARE fish identification
-- know your neighbors

PADI originally conceived of the Project AWARE concept. It's all about divers taking care of the oceans and seas.

There are 21,000 fish species in the world. In this course you'll learn to identify fish family based on shape, location, and behavior, concentrating on fish found where we're diving in the Caribbean basin.
