New book ‘Muck Diving’ by Nigel Marsh announced
Muck Diving
A Diver’s Guide to the Wonderful World of Critters
By Nigel Marsh
PUBLICATION DATE: May 2017
PRINT RRP: £15.99
FORMAT: PAPERBACK
Muck diving today is a global phenomenon, with divers travelling around the world to marvel at exotica such as mimic octopus, flamboyant cuttlefish, mantis shrimps, Bobbit worms, stargazers, frogfish, snake eels, demon ghouls and blue-ringed octopus.
Whilst muck diving can be enjoyed in any country that has sandy and silty environments, the best area to see the most diverse range of critters is the Indo-Pacific region, which encompasses the muck diving hot-spots of Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia, plus other great muck diving destinations such as Australia, Papua New Guinea and Timor Leste.
Muck Diving by Nigel Marsh is the first complete guide to the subject. It has been designed to introduce the new diver to the wonderful world of muck and to entice experienced muck divers to explore more of this amazing marine ecosystem.
Opening chapters explore different muck environments, the history of muck diving, muck diving techniques, photography tips and how indispensable a great muck dive guide can be. Part two of the book provides information about the most popular muck critters, while part three is a guide to the best muck diving destinations in the Indo-Pacific. In short it’s a must-have guide for divers everywhere.
Muck Diving by Nigel Marsh is published by Reed New Holland at £15.99, paperback, and will be available from all good bookshops or online via www.amazon.co.uk or call 01206-255777.

Dive Worldwide Announces Bite-Back as its Charity of the Year
Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
