    The "go-find-it" aspect of the guides give you a reason for snorkeling until you find all 50 fish in the book! Can you reach the Whale Shark level and check them all off?

  • All About The Fishy Facts

    The books teach you fun facts and behaviors to look for while you're snorkeling. Learning their world and how they operate adds a new understanding of the sea life around you.

Caribbean Ocean life guide

Love this!

"We are new to snorkeling on the Caribbean. The photos and descriptions in the book are clear, bright and include additional species descriptions for better identification. The book is small enough to transport easily in the boat, and resistant to water. A great companion for your day on the reef!"
