Fish identification

Christian Gloor

For many divers the thrill of spotting and identifying a new fish is one of the reasons they love to dive. 

But identifying a new fish is never that easy, especially considering the sheer abundance of different species that make their home in Asia's incredible reefs.

So we've put together some tips to help you to improve your identification skills and get more out of your diving.

Bohol

The island of Bohol lies just to the east of Cebu in the Viasayas region of the Philippines and is a popular island for tourists. 

The area's diving is also a major attraction, with great macro life, plentiful turtles and lovely coral reefs. Good diving options are available on the west coast, and also the quieter south-east region of Anda.

Maumere

Maumere is a beautiful bay on the north coast of Flores. It is an area that is famous for its diversity.

Sperm Whales, Pilot Whales, Dolphins & Whalesharks cruise the bay, good encounters with Sharks & large Rays are possible and there is a wealth of macro life to keep any diver fascinated for hours.
