Reef HQ, thanks for posting this here. I have a couple of friends that have expressed an interest in the class and were waiting for it to be offered. I forwarded your posting and they'll contact REEF directly. I took the class in Pompano last year and it really tuned up my ID skills.

For those who are confused, dismayed, or otherwise bothered by the seeming temerity of posting a Florida Fish ID class in the Florida forum, please allow me to explain that Florida divers often see a variety of fish species...sometimes more than 50 in a single dive.

Readers who feel such umbrage may already know all the fishes in their home area and are used to walleye, northern pike, muskie, yellow perch, pickerel, bass, catfish, bluegill, and the occasional "sucker" (in some circles referred to as the "BIG 8 GRAND SLAM"). They may not want or need an ID class, and instead are certainly invited to stay home, enjoy their invigorating local weather and wildlife, and not waste their time coming to the Keys in December for such unnecessary "larnin'".
