Identifying fish while snorkelling

Can anybody point me towards a colour guide for the local marine life and fish I see while snorkeling?  I've had a good google but struggling.  I'd love to print and laminte some to take with us when we go out.

ps.  don't waggle sea cucumbers at your kids if they were brought up in Essex... near Canvey Island/Southend.  They are pre programmed.. if it looks like a sea turd.......snigger.

Thanks if you can help.

Again there is a pre laminated fish guide available from most dive centres (The one i mentioned yesterday has them in stock) that you can bring with you... buy one copy and laminate :).....

Cheers, I was planning on using it in the morning and would love to have a look online also.  If I don't find anything tonight I will pop down there. 

I can laminate them myself so no problem there,  just finding one on very short notice really.

Cheers.

slightly better but needs work.  not very clear water at Sliema yesterday either.


Also, have you ever dived at St. Peters Pool,  looks fantastic but can't see how you get out after jumping in???
:blink:

Yes, i have there is a way of getting out via ladders that are there... It is very close to where i live and if you go halfway down the steps to the rock you can then turn right and go all the way around the cliffs to another area that is not as busy as Peters pool.

VERY good for snorkelling

Sounds lush.  I know I shouldn't be mean but I hate going to the crowded places.  After living in Spain I developed a phobia about tourist season, which I shouldn't as its the main source of income for many.  So my preference is the less attractive to sunbathe spots. grin.

Or maybe I'm just an unsociable cow!!!!
:)

..... stay away from St Peters Pool on weekends and Holidays then defo.... VERY VERY Packed !!
