Red Sea · 228 species · iPhone
Know the reef before you go.
Reefscene teaches you to recognise Red Sea fish before the trip, and keeps the ones you meet in the water. What you know and what you've seen grow into a living reef.

Learn
A photo. Four names. Pick one.
The quiz begins with families: tell a butterflyfish from a wrasse from a grouper. Prove a family and its species join the mix. Name a species three times and it's mastered — it surfaces in colour on your House Reef.
No streaks. No punishment. A wrong answer is information.
Try it. On this page one right answer is enough: watch the reef behind the phone.
What fish is this?
Dive
After a dive or a snorkel, one question: what did you see?
Two minutes of swiping while the salt is still drying. The likely species come to you one photo at a time. Each one you mark joins your Dive Reef, a twilight twin of the first that holds only the animals you have really met.
Not a logbook. No depths, no paperwork. Just the life you saw.
The water behind this text is empty because your Dive Reef is. Mark a few and it fills.

ID
“Long thin silver fish” is enough to go on.
Describe what you remember — a colour, a shape, where it sat — and the ID tab ranks the Red Sea species that fit, favouring the ones people actually meet. It works offline, like a printed key, far from any signal.
Found it? One tap records the sighting, and the mystery fish joins your reef.
This one is real too. Type, or tap a few chips, then pick a result to find it on the reef.

How it behaves
Made for shore days, liveaboards and airplane mode.
Works offline
One tap saves every photo over Wi-Fi. After that the whole app runs without a signal.
No account. Nothing tracked.
No login, no cloud, no analytics. Your reef lives on your phone. This page holds one thing only: your email, if you leave it for the test crew.
No streaks, no guilt
Skip a month and nothing is lost. The reef is patient.
Not a logbook
A trip name and the life you saw. Depths and paperwork stay in your logbook.
Wild animals, credited
Every photo shows the animal on a reef, never in an aquarium. Openly licensed, photographer named.
Your Reef
Grow a reef of everything you know and everything you've seen.
