With around a thousand fish species in the Red Sea, SSI's Marine Ecology and Fish Identification training gives you a new way to see Sharm El Sheikh's reefs. You learn how coral ecosystems work and how to recognise the species you meet at sites like Near Garden, from clownfish and anthias to morays and lionfish. Even familiar reefs reveal something new.
SSI offers free digital materials and a performance-based structure, recording the specialty on your SSI digital card and supporting its Blue Oceans conservation ethos.
Biodiverse Sharm reefs like Near Garden and Ras Katy host clownfish, butterflyfish, angelfish, morays and lionfish among hard and soft corals, with the wider Red Sea holding around 1000 fish species. Clear 20-30m visibility makes observation and identification easy.
