Those of you who know me know of my passion for adventure scuba diving and underwater photography/videography. So when I was offered the opportunity a few years ago to deep dive in a small exploration submarine, I jumped in with both feet! I found it exhilarating, educational and will definitely do it again should I get the chance.
The Deep: The Extraordinary Creatures of the Abyss is a new book by Claire Nouvian who was so inspired by what she saw in the deep ocean that she set about raising awareness of all that we don’t know about the estimated 20 million undiscovered species living there. She worked with various research organizations to curate 220 stunning images, many of creatures never before captured on film. 160 of them are published in the book that Sylvia Earle (National Geographic Society) calls “…the most stunningly beautiful book about the sea ever produced.” I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy!
