There are many reasons why Grand Cayman diving with Sunset Divers is an unforgettable experience. Along with awe-inspiring geological features and eerie wrecks, the incredible array of fish and other marine species you can encounter is right at the top of the list. But you will enjoy your underwater experiences even more when you can recognize and identify fish families and their unique characteristics.
“What was that fish?” is a common question we hear after dives. If you want to be the diver with the answers, instead of the one asking the questions, then our PADI Fish Identification Specialty course in Grand Cayman is for you.
Exploring Grand Cayman’s stunning underwater is always rewarding. However, the more you know about what you see, the more you can take away from your experience. Having the ability to identify the creatures and fish families you encounter makes your dives more enjoyable and more meaningful. Once you learn to recognize what types of fish you see, you’ll find it easier to reference the exact species after a scuba dive.
For example, a butterfly fish in the Caribbean has a similar shape to a butterfly fish in Southeast Asia, but colors and markings may be wildly different. If you know what fish family it belongs to, you can more easily look up the local name or at least be able to intelligently ask your local scuba instructor what you saw.
