Hijacking! How good are you?

[thanksforallthefish]

Fish has it more my style. Oh look at that pretty one. What was that? Oh did you see that barracuda, no lucky that was a trumpetfish. :shocked2: Oh well. :doh2:I just like looking at them all and leaving them be when I am done looking. The voyeur in me I guess.

I totally agree ... what the heck does it matter that you dont know a darn fish's name as long as you enjoy watching them, I bet you they dont know my name

When I first started diving I used to try to id them... then gave up so I lknow a few from that. Now I only try to Id ones that are unusual for our area... I would rather look at them and take pictures. We have a lady in our regular dive group who is really good at iding stuff...I figure I only have so many grey cells to fill up... wont bother trying to fill them with stuff I don't need to know

I love ID'ing fish. Not that great at it but, think its really fun.

I had this friend who used to take an insane amount of pics but didn't know anything about the fish. AT ALL> But, he could navigate like a champ!!

I used to tell him on trips....if you get me back to the boat, I'll tell you what you saw.

You got that right, though I will just go diving with Tig so she can tell me what it is when I need to write it down for my journal.

When I got certified, I did it in the local quarry. There are lots of freshwater fish in there and the only one I knew was the catfish cuz swimming past my mask or at my aunts bbq, it looks the same. Nasty! The rest I dont care what they are, just want to be nosey about them. Like fish say, they don't know me so I dont need to know them.

So I will work on my nav skills for when we go diving so you can tell me what was there.
