Fish watching is the aquatic counterpart of bird and butterfly watching. Almost anyone can enjoy this enriching hobby. The only essential equipment is a mask and snorkel, although of swim fins are also a good investment. Every fish that you encounter has an interesting story to tell about its unique habits and special way of life.
