Overview AWARE Fish Identification Speciality on Gili Meno
1 day – 2 open water dives – it’s all about fish
When you start diving you often have no idea what fish you are looking at. All you know is that you saw aΒ a pretty cool and colorful fish. While you might recognize Nemo (anemone fish) and a turtle, most of the other fish just look likeβ¦ wellβ¦ fish. It’s time for the AWARE Fish Identification Speciality!
