Book Description

Publication Date: 15 Mar 2012

Thailand's Underwater World showcases the wonder of the marine life in Thailand's oceans through world-class photography and concise, insightful text. Covering a wide array of marine life, from 12m-long whale sharks to tiny shrimps and nudibranchs, the book is designed to appeal to scuba divers and non-divers alike. The text is a dynamic, digestible mix of information about Thailand's marine life, personal anecdotes about encountering Thailand's sea creatures face-to-face, and interviews with Thai marine biologists and dive operators. Feature stories include the rediscovery of the sunken WWII submarine USS Lagarto, the effects of the devastating tsunami on Thailand s dive sites, and the future of Thailand s underwater world as it comes increasingly under threat from climate change and overfishing. Drawing on their experience as avid divers, the authors have also compiled a guide to learning to dive, key dive sites, travel practicalities, and where to see for oneself all the stunning marine creatures showcased in the book.
