Dive deep beneath the surface on the ocean and experience the habitat and marine like up close, as few have done before.
VOLUME I
The Savage Reef
The Coral Reef is not only one of the most diverse communities within the animal kingdom, but also one of the fiercest, with an overwhelmin number of natural predators. Dive deep with John Stoneman as he studies these marauders, from tiny slugs and corals to mighty sharks.
Shipwrecks
During World War II, nearly 100 ships, planes and submarines were sunk in Micronesia's Truk Lagoon. Many of the wrecks have now become artificial reefs, attracting a wide range of corals, fish life, and interested divers like John Stoneman.
VOLUME II
Shadowland
Even fish need sleep, but what happens when night falls and nocturnal predators awake? John Stoneman swims the Caribbean coral reef at night to better understand the unique balance between day and night.
The Mysterious Sea
Many tall tales have been told about the sea, but which stories are fact and which are fiction? Join John Stoneman as he explores the Bermuda Triangle and other legends that make the Caribbean such a fascinating place.
VOLUME III
Coral World

John Stoneman tours some of the most beautiful and prolific reefs in the world, including the Great Barrier Reef of Australia and the Red Sea Coral Reef of Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
Creatures of the Sand

VOLUME IV
Killers of the Deep

The Fragile Ocean
Water covers two-thirds of the Earth's surface, and contained therein is a vast food supply and substantial mineral resources. Oceans develop our weather systems and produce much of the oxygen we breath, yet they are threatened by pollution and over-fishing. What can be done to save them?
