Project Reef
I frequently travel to the Caribbean but I prefer active travel to rum-soaked lounging. If you agree, you should check out Project Reef. You fill out a siting form [electronic or paper] listing all the fish you spot during a dive or snorkel. You then submit your obs to the organization & the data is used for science, conservation & management, making your adventures useful as well as fun. I have learned an enormous amount about fish identification & behavior, & I get a phenomenal workout because I stay in the water so much longer. the program is world-wide & they have a great website. You can pick up the observation forms at selected dive shops.
