Pre-eminent photographer Norbert Wu travels to the ends of the earth to showcase an array of dive spots including reefs, wrecks, caves, and drifts. Here are schooling hammerheads and spawning corals, curious sea creatures and dense kelp forests, captured in breathtaking full colour photographs. Ken McAlpine's commentary outlines each locale's geography and choice dive sites, the best seasons to explore specific areas, and ideal times and places to see favourite species and extraordinary behaviours. Also included are topside tips for the non-diver and current preservation issues related to the sea and its inhabitants. Beautifully packaged and produced, this impressive coffee-table book of 350 colour photographs and maps appeals to diving enthusiasts, naturalists, conservationists, boaters, and anyone captivated by the sea.
