Perhentian ID Guide. The following guide is the product of one two week trip to the Perhentian Islands, Malaysia by an underwater photographer and a marine biologist, made as part of the pre-trip preparation for the University of Hull undergraduate Tropical Marine Biology field trip. All photographs were taken using Canon G16 cameras. During this trip we encourage students to develop their knowledge of tropical taxonomy and ecosystems by making them dive on coral reefs, twice a day in water that is 30 degrees centigrade and has visibility of up to 20 m. We put them through this ordeal for their own good in order to help them towards their European Scientific Diver Qualification. This first draft has been put together in the space of a few months and we are certain that there are spelling mistakes and mis-identifications. Any corrections should be sent to [email protected].
