Expand your Horizon with PADI® AWARE Fish ID Specialty Course!

1 day | 2 Open Water Dives

What was that Fish?

The ocean is home to thousands of species of marine life, but how many could you correctly identify?

The PADI® Fish Identification Specialty teaches you the principles of fish species identification and references the exact species after your scuba dive.

The creatures spotted on your dive will no longer be unknown, and you'll become the go-to fish identifier for people who come up from their dive wondering, "what was that fish?!"

If you are interested in marine biology and ecosystem, take a look at the PADI® Underwater Naturalist Specialty Course and learn about the relationships between plants, animals, and the environment.

Capture underwater pictures of your favorite creatures and see if you can identify them. Take a look at the PADI® Underwater Photographer Specialty.

IMPORTANT! -Flying after Diving

When planning your diving trip and your journey toward your destinations, always remember that you must not fly directly after scuba diving. It accentuates the risk of having decompression sickness.

The PADI guidelines are to NOT FLY during a 12 hours interval after a single dive and 18 hours after multiple dives. As often when it comes to scuba diving, take a conservative approach to safety, and whenever possible, avoid flying the next 24 hours after a dive.

If you intend to do multiple dives on different days during your trip, consider buying your own dive computer, as it will calculate the optimal time to fly based on your diving history.

Even more than other outdoor sports, diving is weather- and sea-dependent. Be aware that some sites might be inaccessible on certain days and that diving trips might be canceled due to dangerous conditions.

Luckily, Thailand has a fantastic climate almost all year round and this happens very rarely.
