Coral Reef Guide Red Sea [Paperback]

The definitive guide to the underwater life of the Red Sea region, home to the richest and most varied dive sites in the world.

Visited by over a quarter of a million divers a year the Red Sea is home to many of the world's most popular dive sites.

Covering jellyfish, corals, nudibranchs, starfish, sea urchins, fishes and turtles, Coral Reef Guide Red Sea covers all common species of underwater life of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, you are likely to see while diving or snorkelling.

Each species is illustrated with a full-colour photograph and the text gives details of range and characteristic behaviour. Different species groups are represented by icons for easy reference and an illustration of the juvenile may also be included.

A map of good dive sites appears on the inside front cover, while the inside back cover features illustrations of a number of common species for quick and easy identification.
