Snorkel Fish Hawaii for iPhone 3.5

Updated March 2024. This comprehensive resource covers a wide array of shallow-water reef fish commonly encountered by snorkelers, including some rare species. Users can easily navigate through the content akin to flipping through the pages of a book or swiftly locate a specific fish based on its color or shape. Each fish is represented by up to five photos, encompassing variations such as juveniles, males, females, and different color patterns. Additionally, the inclusion of videos for each fish further enriches the learning experience. An added feature allows users to compile a personal 'Log Book' of identified fish, enabling the tracking of sightings and the addition of notes. To enhance fish identification skills, a flashcard-style Quiz Mode is available.

It's important to note that this app focuses exclusively on shallower depths where approximately half of Hawaii's 400+ shore fish are found. By doing so, it provides a streamlined experience with quicker downloads and reduced storage requirements. For access to a broader selection of fish including deeper-dwelling species, users are directed to consider the companion app 'Scuba Fish Hawaii'.
