When you hear "fish watching", you probably imagine a guide telling you the name of the after you finish your guided tour. We go a step further.
We look and observe,
"What is this fish doing" "What is your diet? "Are you fighting?""Courting?""Laying eggs?" To do this properly, we take our time during our underwater guided tour.
