## What is Photo Fish?

Ever explore the oceans and see the beautiful creature that live in them? They are majestic and peaceful. Living in such a different world. They come in all shapes and sizes. Have you ever wondered what they are? Now, all it takes to know is a picture. With Photo Fish, upload a picture and you can learn what you saw.

The idea came to me when I first started scuba diving. I would see all these magnificent creatures. After my dives, I would go to the dive masters and try to describe what I saw in the attempt to figure out what they were. Unfortunately, they rarely knew. So I went out to develop this app that can tell you in seconds.

I quickly saw the potential of this software. It can be used by scuba divers or snorkelers anywhere in the world. But even better, it can be used by researchers to track migrations of all aquatic life. This software is in very early stages, but has the potential to change a lot  of the world.

By bringing cutting edge technology to your smartphone, we bring the capability to learn more about where we live and what we see. Education is a gift, and now it is easier than every. Explore the depths of the ocean right from your phone. Show your friends and family what you saw, and learn about them together.

Eight out of 10 of the fish that I tried said it was a yellow tail snapper and that’s not even close to any of the fish that I tried
