PADI Fish ID Specialty

Discover the PADI Fish ID Specialty in Kailua-Kona

The PADI Fish ID Specialty offers a focused learning experience on identifying Hawai’i’s beautiful and colorful endemic fishes. This specialty course combines fish identification with buoyancy control, essential for effective underwater observation and survey work.

Course Details and Activities

This 5-hour course includes two training dives aboard a 46ft custom dive boat departing from the Kona Honu Diver’s boat slip. During these dives, you will practice buoyancy control and learn to identify fish into family groups, organize a small fish survey, and note fish behaviors.
