This is a clever concept that should appeal to anyone interested in underwater photography.

It's a mixture of technique, anecdotes and advice, interspersed with the authors' excellent photographs. But what makes it different is the analysis
of guest photographers' star pictures, which feature prominently across the 360 pages of this book. The authors have included information that will
prove useful to any snapper, from the novice with a digi-compact right up
to the seasoned professional.
All this variety means that there's a great deal to occupy the reader, though the presentation is a little scattergun. It lacks the focus of Martin Edge's The Underwater Photographer, which for my money is still the best system for learning and improving marine photography. Still, the inclusion of other leading photographers means that with this book, you get a better overview of the state of the art. A great idea, well executed, with breathtaking images throughout.
