This was given to me by my aunt who is a scuba instructor. My daughter loves all things having to do with the ocean so she had wonderful time going through this with me. It wasn't quite what we were expecting, but fun to discover new fish.

This was the go-to book used by guides for fish identification on my snorkeling trip in Belize. Excellent photos and identification tools for reef fish.

Excellent photos. Easy tricks to ID. The only thing is that it is so big that it is difficult to quickly ID something. Organized very well.

This book has amazing color photos with descriptions that make it perfect for reference. I especially love the spaces in back to record what fish you have seen.
