Reef Fish and Creature Identification
 Have you ever surfaced from a dive and asked your buddy "What kind of fish was that black and orange one you pointed out?". Or been asked if you saw the toad fish, when you have no idea what a toad fish looks like? Then this is your opportunity to learn a bit more about the fish and creatures we visit on every dive.
Designed to expand your knowledge of the fish and creatures you may see throughout the Caribbean and Pacific, this night of photographs and stories will get you prepped for your next dive adventure! This is not a certification class, but the information can be applied towards the Fish ID Specialty.

Equipment Tip of the month
As I sat down to write this month's Equipment Tip, I started thinking about all the things we need to go diving. Regardless how hard we try, we always need some gear to go sight-seeing below the waves. But not all of it is diving specific, so I asked some of our staff what they can't live without when they go on a trip. Here are some of the responses:
Michelle - The first thing I can't live without on a dive trip is my wetsuit. I LOVE my 5mm Henderson H2! I never have to worry about getting cold in a poor fitting rental suit or wondering how many other people peed in the suit before me. The second thing I can't live without is my Balanza travel scale. With all the new airline restrictions I need to know exactly how much my bag weighs. This is critical when you like to shop as much as I do!
Jill - If I could only pack two things on my trip I'd take my dive computer and hood. My Suunto D9 has been with me for over 300 dives, and I feel uncomfortable without it. And anyone who knows me knows how cold I get, so my Cuttlefish beanie is a must. Plus, it's easy to find me in a crowd with my pink hat sticking out.
Ryan - When I go on an trip the one item that I will never dive without is my regulator. I know that it has been serviced, how it works and most importantly it has only been in my mouth. Secondly I can't live without my own mask. I go diving to see the beauty around me (and try to film it), so I don't have time to worry or mess with a leaking mask.
Brian - Two things I can't live without, my Save-a-dive kit and my Bose headphones. More than one trip (both my own and others) has been saved by something I've pulled out of my Save-a-dive kit. It's a bit more involved than most, but it truly is a "dive saver" if anyone has a problem. And I don't even think about traveling without my Bose Noise Canceling Headphones. Whether it's a screaming baby on a plane or a loud generator on the boat, I can find instant relaxation by plugging in and tuning out!
