Look for Paul Humann's Identification series. There's 3 volumes, Reef Fish, Reef Coral and Reef Creatures. The new 3rd edition has just come out. He also has an excellent book on Fish Behavior that explains alot of what you see.

You can usually find these on Amazon.com or at your local dive shop.

ME!

Give me a list of what you want to see and then take me along to make certain you get to see everything on your list. Where we going?

Humann's books are the best and there's some updates out recently. Try amazon.com.

If you are looking for an educational video, try "Caribbean Reef Encounters", it even has a little quiz at the end.

I agree with Dee, Humann's Reef fish Identification. There is a set of 3 books and there are worth the investment. Last I knew undercurrent's websit had a good price on all three. Also you can check out amazon.com or your LDS might also have them.

My husband and I take them on every trip we go on. They are packed at the moment for a May 31st departure.
