Snorkel Fish Hawaii for iPhone Apple

Snorkel Fish Hawaii for iPhone

Fish ID for snorkelers

Features & Capabilities

Updated January 2026. Covers all shallow-water reef fish commonly seen by snorkelers (and some rare ones too). Flip through screens like pages of a book, or find a fish quickly by color or shape. Up to 5 photos per fish—showing juveniles, males, females, color variations. Videos of each fish too. Save fish you've seen in the Log Book. Sharpen your fish ID skills with flashcard-style Quiz Mode.

- For snorkelers and beginning scuba divers.

  • 205 species** / 600+ photos!
  • Identify fish by color, shape, family group, or name (common, scientific, Hawaiian).
  • Multiple photos of most fish.
  • Flashcard-style quiz.
  • Videos of all fish (requires internet). - Logbook: save fish, add notes, share Logbook (text only).
  • Links to Fishbase and Reef.org for each fish.
  • Works great on iPads too.

** Only half of Hawaii's 400+ shore fish live at snorkeling depths. For easier ID, faster download and smaller footprint, this app omits deeper-dwelling fish. For a more complete set of fish, see my app Scuba Fish Hawaii.

I forget my fish ID Boot on this, my fourth, trip to Maui. I now prefer the app. It’s easier to find fish, and to be confident of your identification. I especially like the ability to filter out rarer fish. Well done!

Love the app! It would be extra fun to be able to use the app to save/organize my own photos.
