The identification cards feature fish and invertebrate species that can be encountered while diving or snorkelling in the Mediterranean. The marine organisms are represented through colour photographs of living specimens. The Latin name of the species plus the common name in one or two other languages is provided beside the photograph. Additional taxonomic information is also supplied such as families for fishes and classes or orders for other phyla to better understand the relationships between the various organisms. The average and maximum size of each fish species is also reported.

Cards are printed with UV technology on recyclable plastic sheets (148mm × 210mm x 0.75mm) and they aim to be used for a very long time.
