The Red Sea is full of fascinating fishes, and it's a favorite spot to dive. Learn how to recognize some of the fishes you may encounter there. This Fishinar picks up where Part 1 (originally taught in September 2021) left off.

Missed or want to review Part 1? You can find it here. Christy also taught the "Red Sea Endemics" Fishinar in May 2020, you can find the recording here. And be sure to check out the full Fishinar archive at www.REEF.org/fishinararchives.
