This snorkelers guide to the most common shallow-water reef fish in Hawaii includes 200 gorgeous underwater photos together with brief notes for each. Turtles, whales, dolphins and seals likely to be seen by snorkelers are included as well. All content is by experts in the field: leading marine life author and photographer, John Hoover, and well-known snorkeling guidebook authors, Judy and Mel Malinowski. As a bonus, links to underwater videos by Keller Laros, Rob Whitton, and others are provided.

This app provides a beautiful and convenient way to look up fish you have seen, or would like to see. It is fast and easy to use. Because of the large number of high quality pictures the size is 24 MB, thus you must download it via WiFi or better (not cellular).

Users can view an indexed list of 40 fish families plus 3 animal families with a thumbnail of a typical fish from that family. Tap on a family to see the fish from that family, with a thumbnail picture, the common name, as well as the Hawaiian name. Tap on that fish to see a detail view, with large picture, Hawaiian name, and notes about the fish.

Tap on the fish picture to enlarge it to full screen. Tap again to return. Tap on an add button to add to personal Favorites list.

Tap on Fish List to display a complete indexed alphabetical list of 200 fish and other animals, with thumbnail pictures, common name and Hawaiian name. Tap on one row to see details for that fish.

Tap on Slideshow to see a full screen slideshow of sharp, colorful pictures in random order. Tap again to see the name of the fish. Swipe to go to the detail view with notes. Tap to return to the slideshow, or tap twice to exit.

Tap on Favorites to view a list of personal Favorites, which can be added to, edited, or deleted.

Tap on Books to view other resources available from the authors, including detailed fish identification books and snorkeling site guidebooks.

An i button on the top right of the front page leads to complete instructions for the app. The app is so intuitive, however, that this is unlikely to be needed.

A user (jokingly, we presume) posted that he took his iPhone snorkeling and bricked it, and said we should warn you that the iPhone is not salt water-proof. Dont take our app snorkeling (unless in a waterproof case). Youve been warned :-)
