Research I have done so far never found an application that for fish id in Celebes sea. There has no any apps provide the marine life (fish id) in Celebes sea/Sulu sea, which are Sipadan, Mabul and Kapalai. (Western and Central Pacific Ocean)

So, maybe I can scope down, fish id for Sipadan, Kapalai, Mabul?
Due to I always went there for my diving trip!
It is much more easier for me take picture and create content for my application.
