Gardens of the Sea - the first book 

The aim of this book is to reveal to the public at large the fascinating and unknown universe that has remained avaliable  so far only to these who master diving sports.
The wonderful ecosystems that thrive on the seas and oceans are made up of thousands of animal, vegetal and mineral species. Outstanding in their color and beauty, they are richer and more diversified than the other forms of life on Earth, baring in mind that the liquid expanse constitutes more than two thirds of our planet.
One of the main goals of this projects to stir up - mostly among the younger generation - the interest and worries over the salvation of these fabulous underwater gardens. Offering a vision of this hidden world for a wider number of people is a task that will greatly contribute towards environmental preservation and a better knowledge of the underwater treasures of our planet.
On identifying the species shown in this book, we have chosen regional nomenclature, which may sometimes diverge from biological classification. Our purpose was to bring into focus to the layman the richness of the underwater world. Here he will find a choice of my best moments during almost three decades of exploration and adventures in the most remote and exotic places of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Hold your breath and have a nice dive...
