Marine Life Identification

Being able to identify marine life and vegetation will make your diving experience more enjoyable. You'll be able to converse with other divers about the unique things you've seen and overall, be a more knowledgeable diver while you're underwater. Below you'll find some great resources to better identify fish and marine life here in New England. Let's continue to support our local resources as our community depends on the support.

Andrew Martinez is the founder of the Marine Life of the North Atlantic app that most New England divers use for marine life identification.  His app (apple/android) includes a giant catalog of marine life one can encounter in New England. The app includes- Identification: Fish and vegetation identification with pictures, details, habitat descriptions and more; Life Lists: if you’re searching for something specific, the app has a very cool capability to "follow" marine life to see what dive sites you might encounter what you’re looking for; Dive records: you can see pictorial records of the marine life you have encountered at each dive site. 

Andrew’s work began long before the app. He has dedicated his career to bring divers a dictionary of marine life across New England that first brought his book, Marine Life of the North Atlantic, to us in 1999 that has since morphed into this modernized app. 

Marine Life of the North Atlantic
The book Marine Life of the North Atlantic has evolved to a mobile app called Marine Life – North Atlantic. Andrew has worked conscientiously to make this application both an easily used digital book as well as a tool for timely communication between participating users.
