During two scuba dives, you’ll learn how to identify characteristics of local fish families and species. You will be able to detect fish survey techniques and strategies. You will get familiar with Project AWARE activities that can help protecting aquatic life Apart from using basic scuba equipment, you will need a slate to record what you see and a fish identification card
