Diving Indonesia’s Raja Ampat

Here’s a definitive guide book on what authors and marine photographers Burt Jones and Maurine Shimlock call “the greatest repository of tropical marine life on earth.” And anyone who has dived it knows they speak the truth. This 146-page book is filled with descriptions of mindblowing dive sites, along with good descriptions of the area, the people and what you need to know to dive there. And the photos of unusual critters will knock your socks off.

Burt and Maurine, who post frequently on Undercurrent’s online blog, work with Indonesian branches of several NGOs, including Conservation International, to show Raja Ampat’s incomparable marine life to the world and explain why it should be treasured.
