    Fish List

    We used Collins "Corral reef guide: Red sea" by E. Lieske and R.F. Myers. It's older and the print quality is affected by that - but once you get used to how sometimes the colors in photos are distorted, it's pretty good - I found it easier to use than drawn guides; being focused on Red Sea...

    Fish List

    I love iNat for everything, obviously. I am now top 10 there in vertebrate species I think (hard to fight big birders, ironically). Would have no fish list without it, we only bought some marune life books now, since it looks like we are gona stick with it, so until that, all ID was by people on...

    Fish List

    Ha ha ha ha never say never. I really thought I hated water. Then I snorkeled for the first time ever in February in Saudi Arabia, because we simply already were there and the Farasans may be one the world's best places, so we had to try it. 6 weeks later we went to Bali, already with our own...

    Fish List

    Only if you want to get others to give you ID and/or want to have your observation included in the "research grade" dataset. For your own purposes, you can store "casual" observations without documentation.

    Fish List

    For everything living, there is always http://inaturalist.org - good to keep records and get IDs and since a few days now also again good for maintaining a list (it's no longer buggy as hell). I personally don't intend to watch fish in any capacity due to my deep hatred of water :)
