The Coral Sea is one of the richest areas of marine life on our planet both in terms of abundance and biodiversity.
Much still awaits discovery and it is an area, perhaps threatened, but still not significantly damaged by pollution or over-population and over-fishing.
Bob Halstead has made more than 7000 dives in the Coral Sea region, systematically photographing its marine life in natural surroundings.
"The Coral Sea Reef Guide" contains more than 1000 photographs, and identifies more than 1000 marine animals, including descriptions of behaviour and habitat.
It is a useful, accurate and entertaining book that will increase the enjoyment of every spectator viewing what lies beneath the Coral Sea waves.
