Nick & Caroline Robertson-Brown to release new book ‘World’s Best Wildlife Dive Sites’ in August
Scubaverse.com’s very own underwater photography editors Nick and Caroline Robertson-Brown are releasing a new book. ‘World’s Best Wildlife Dive Sites’ will be published in August 2016.
Watching wildlife under the surface of the sea – whether snorkelling or scuba diving – is an increasingly popular pastime. This book covers 32 of the very best underwater wildlife experiences from around the world, including temperate and tropical waters. Each location is chosen for a particular key wildlife phenomenon, whether it is coral reefs, whales, seals, manta rays, and so on. Each has captivating images, a written account and a concise fact-panel outlining key species, tips for visitors, equipment to take and the best time to visit.
Experiences include: crocodiles and silky sharks in Cuba; Great White Sharks and Weedy Seadragons in Australia; Whale Sharks and manta rays in the Maldives; hammerhead sharks in the Bahamas; Basking Sharks and seals in the UK; turtles and stingrays in the Caribbean; schooling fish and corals in Egypt; the Sardine Run in South Africa; Manatees and kelp forests in the USA; and manta rays, anemonefish, frogfish and more in Indonesia. It will be the ultimate tour of the world’s marine wildlife hot-spots, guaranteed to whet the appetite of divers, snorkelers and armchair naturalists everywhere.
The World’s Best Wildlife Dive Sites will be published by Reed New Holland in hardback, will retail at £19.99 and will be available from all good bookshops or online via www.amazon.co.uk.
