5.0 out of 5 stars Jeremy's total dedication is reflected in his excellent work, 29 Jan 2000
By A Customer
Once again Jeremy's total dedication and love for Sharks can be witnessed in this great book.The Author gives fantastic details of the Sharks found in the Red Sea, tips to identify them and also a few caution tips. If you are a shark lover or just a diver... than you MUST have this book in your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must for all Divers visiting the Southern Red, 6 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I have just returned from the Southern Red Sea, having this book on the holiday added to the enjoyment of diving with sharks. Witness the queue of divers waiting to borrow it after each dive. Was that a lone scalloped hammerhead or a great hammerhead ? - Nice book well illustrated but look carefully the same picture appears in a few places cropped differently. Also I was disappointed it did not include the Leopard Shark I have seen them twice. But despite this I would personally highly recommend the book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book - buy his other one !, 27 May 2006
By Andrew Hunt "andrewhunt8" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Jeremy's book 'Shark a Photographers Story' is excellent. I must have read it cover to cover dozens of times and I thoroughly recommend it. In the mid-90's I met Jeremy on a dive expedition to the Red Sea and he was working on the Red Sea sharks book (I seem to remember he wasn't diving because of stitches on his head from a tennis racquet).

Ten years later I noticed it had indeed been published so had to buy it. I'm sorry to say I am very disappointed - light on content, heavy on inaccuracies... there are some nice photos but it's nowhere near as good as his earlier work - add to this the price £14.95 for A5 size and less than 100 pages ! Not even good value.

Buy 'Shark - A Photographers Story' it is suberb. Don't bother with Red Sea Sharks.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor value and innacurate
Quite a nice handy sized book and has a hardback, but that is all that can be said to recommend the book. Read more
