Dive Sites of the Great Barrier Reef

Dive sites of the great barrier reef

The Dive Sites of The Great Barrier Reef. I thought this was a great book for a fresh diver to the reef. It has great pictures and covers a number of locations and dives sites. I found it useful to learn a few tidbits about the places I was seeing while on the boat between dives. Would recommend to anyone looking for a general book on the Great Barrier Reef.

 Reefscape:Reflections on the Great Barrier Reef

Reefscape: reflections on the great barrier reef

Reefscape : Reflections on the Great Barrier Reef
by Rosaleen Love. Some 200 million tourists visit the reef each year. Looking beyond the sheer beauty of this place, we learn, too, that it is a region rich in history, the setting for fateful shipwrecks and exotic Aboriginal myths. Australian writer Rosaleen Love explores the reef from all these angles, allowing us to see this stunning geography anew. Part travelogue, part eco-history, "Reefscape" represents multiple views of the reef - through the eyes of mariners, pearl divers, naturalists, filmmakers, pirates, industrialists, and tourists alike - painting a fascinating portrait of a unique locale.  "Reefscape" provides a window on the past and foreshadows the future of this extraordinary environment.
