This brand new and lavishly illustrated book aims to introduce divers and snorkellers to a selection of the animals and plants from sponges to fishes and sea squirts to seaweeds, that are most regularly seen in our waters. It contains over 200 species, each illustrated by a photograph taken underwater, and includes pointers on how to recognise many more. In addition to a description there is information on depth, habitat and distribution all essential to a confident identification. The Guide is especially aimed at divers looking for a good all round introduction to the animals and plants they will see on their dives. If you only buy one marine life identification guide this is the one you should choose!
