For many divers the thrill of spotting and identifying a new fish is one of the reasons they love to dive. 

But identifying a new fish is never that easy, especially considering the sheer abundance of different species that make their home in Asia's incredible reefs.

So we've put together some tips to help you to improve your identification skills and get more out of your diving.

Asia is home to some of the most diverse habitats in the world, both above and below the water, but it is estimated that more than one in three species are endangered... and the figure is rising alarmingly fast. 

Underwater, a whole range of pressures are putting marine life under immense pressure. Intense population pressure is leading to over-fishing, pollution and the destruction of crucial habitats. 

It's a tough world out in the seas & oceans. Predators come in all shapes and sizes and use speed, strength, deception and sometimes outright determination to catch their prey.

But its not all bad news for the smaller fish that are vulnerable to attack. They have devised a whole host of cunning strategies to avoid ending up as someone else's lunch.
