Today we completed 2 recreational dives as PADI certified divers. We joined Caleb, Tasha, Ryan, and Jocelyne who were already certified, along with Kirsty and Villam (one of the diving instructors). We learned about how fish surveys are conducted and how difficult they can be. This is because you could count a fish and it would swim away, and then it could swim back in front of you a little later, thus double counting. We are having 3 lectures today, which is fine by me, because I am exhausted.. 2 dives completed before 12:30 is tiring! We went to the coral institute for our second lecture, which was on the research methods being used to track certain species of fish down the coast of South Africa. The organization tags fish then uses radio telemetry to track their movements.
