RIVIERA MAYA REFF
CREATURES ID CARD

On side one there are fish - lots and lots of
colorful, tropical, Caribbean fish, plus
invertebrates, sponges, and corals. There

are over 100 species shown. There are big
fish like the nurse shark, tiny fish like the
blue chromis, and middle-size fish like the
princess parrotfish. There are fat ones like
the blue parrotfish, skinny ones like the

trumpet fish, sleek ones like the cero, box-
shaped ones like the spotted trunkfish,
round ones like the spot fin butterfly fish,
wide ones like the eagle ray, and much
more. Then there are colorful sponges and
corals. The cutest one of all may be the

seahorse. The scariest thing on the card is
probably the fire coral. The list is almost
like a top-100 of favorite critters in
Mexico's Riviera Maya waters. Each
creatures name is in English and Spanish.
Technically, all of these fish are depicted

on side two of this fish card. On side one
the main feature is a mini-map of Riviera
Maya. It shows the names and locations of
principle dive sites, plus a few more fish
(there wasn't enough room on the other
side of the fish card for all of them!). The

map has an insert miniature globe map for
a perspective of just where in the world
the Mexico Riviera sits and compass rose.
Also there are climate information and
water temperatures.
