Carp are adaptable freshwater fish from the Cyprinidae family, originally native to Europe and Asia but now widespread across the globe. Recognizable by their broad bodies and bottom-feeding behavior, some species, like the common carp, can grow quite large and live for decades. Their size and steady movement make them a notable presence in many temperate freshwater dive sites.

One of the more beautiful types of freshwater fish, trout is the common name for a large number of different freshwater species closely related to salmon. They live exclusively in freshwater lakes and rivers and come in a wide variety of colors that change based on their environment, making them masters at camouflage. Preferring cool, clear streams and lakes, they can be found in waters averaging 10-16 degrees C (50-60 degrees F) so if you want to go diving with trout you better bring a thick wetsuit.

Catfish is the common name given to any fish in the order Siluriformes and are one of the most widely diverse and abundantly distributed species on the planet, occurring on every continent except Antarctica. Most of them live in freshwater lakes, rivers, and ponds with the exception of a few saltwater species. They are easily recognizable by their barbels on the upper jaw and, sometimes, snout and chin, which look like the whiskers of a cat, giving them their name.

Salmon are among the most iconic fish in the aquatic world, celebrated for their extraordinary life cycle. Born in freshwater rivers and streams, salmon spend most of their adult lives in the open ocean before returning—often across vast distances—to their natal freshwater habitats to spawn. This journey is one of nature’s most impressive migrations and offers unique opportunities for divers to witness the species up close in both marine and inland environments.Each species varies in size, color, and behavior, particularly during the spawning season when their appearance and activity change dramatically.
