Underwater photography guide for beginner intermediate
Found this book very helpful. Have some experience with underwater digital photography but found the explainations and examples very helpful. Took it to Palau...and left it with the captain who kept picking it up to read. So am ordering my replacement!

Build Your Own Underwater Robot
Really neat book. I have wanted to tinker with an underwater robot for some time. Indeed, who hasn't wanted to build a submarine or something like it since they saw their first submarine war movie. This book presents the fundamental design challenges in very clear English. There are 2 vehicle designs presented with plenty of diagrams and hints to avoid common pitfalls. The techniques for ...

Larry Tackett, Denise Tackett
Rotovision, 2007
Nice book
This book offers a nice general introduction to underwater photography, and is relatively current with its equipment discussions, etc. It offers a nice introduction to both photography in general (f-stops, exposure, etc) and the special considerations you'll face when shooting underwater (color changes with depth, strobe usage, etc). While it's targeted to those with full underwater camera ...

Excellent novel
This novel is an amazing story of an abusive relationship between two teens. What really sets it apart is it's in the perspective of the guy and not the girl, which really makes you see that there are two sides to every story

Principles of Underwater Sound 3rd Edition4 reviews
Robert J. Urick
Peninsula Pub, 1996
The UnderWater bible
An excellent introductory text to the subject of underwater acoustics. Structured according to the different factors of the sonar equation, the books leads the reader into the various aspects of the subject. I was happy to learn that this book is once more in print after a long period in which it was unavailable. In short - a must for every person interested in the field.

Jeff Rotman

Wonderful work
As someone with the nickname "snorkelgeek" you know I don't take these kinds of books lightly! This is an amazing look into the undersea world that even those of us who snorkel, don't often see. There are creatures in this book that I never knew existed and am now excited about possibly seeing the next time I'm under water.
This book will be flipped through often enough to become dog-eared, ...

The Underwater Alphabet Book (Jerry Pallotta's Alphabet Books)4 reviews
Jerry Pallotta
Charlesbridge Publishing, 1991
A must-have if you regularly go to any aquarium.
We had to buy a second copy (a hardcover) because our sons loved the first, paperback, version to death. Taught my kids not only the alphabet but the names of all the fish. I is for Indigo Hamlet was one of my son's first sentences! My four-year-old can i.d. all these fish at the San Diego aquarium (and wants us to find the others at another aquarium). Never boring for adults, unlike some ...

The Underwater Photography Handbook6 reviews
Annemarie Kohler, Danja Kohler
Stackpole Books, 1999
Excellent Buy!
I've been shooting underwater photos for 10 years and never have I read a book that so throughly explains the technology of cameras, and relates it so well to the underwater realm. The crew of the Turks and Caicos Aggressor liked it so much I gave Captain Piers a copy and have come back to Amazon.com for another for myself.

Scubazoo
DK Publishing, 2007
Readable coffee table book
Reef, put out by an interested research, photographic group, is great. The photographs are beyond impressive and the test actually explains what the photographs show. I got this for my 4 year-old granddaughter, but I will probably finish it before she begins to read instead of just look at the pictures.

The Art Of Underwater Photography, Creative Techniques and Camera Systems for Digital and Film
Physical limitations now prevent me from diving, but I started young, very young! In fact, in the late 1940's by simply holding my breath and going as deep and as long as possible to see `nature' in areas along the east coast of North America and various areas in the Caribbean. And in the following decades when traveling to other global areas where the ocean was a short distance away, I always ...

Successful Underwater Photography6 reviews
Brian Skerry, Howard Hall
Amphoto Books, 2002
Excellent, detailed manual with inspiring examples
This is by far the most helpful book on underwater photography that I have read up to now. It is not just a coffee-table book of gorgeous images. The authors have genuinely set out to teach the craft of u/w photography. Each photograph is discussed in detail - how it was taken, how the exposure was determined, shooting angle, the instructions to the model, how they got the fish to look through ...

Encyclopedia of Underwater Investigations2 reviews
Robert Gordon Teather
Best Pub Co, 1995
Best ref. for upcoming and experinced water rescue personel
I have read this book from recomendations from fellow dive rescue personnel as a fledgling dive rescue tech and got a real eyeopener as to the job I had just volunteered for. I still read this book often and have yet to put it down without learning something about the "hobby" of rescue work or about how I think about missions and myself while on missions.
