John Collins takes us on a marine adventure within the oceans that
lap many of our most populated shores, from the north Atlantic
around western Europe, to the chilly Pacific of North America and
south to the Great White sharks of Africa. His photographic
portrait of a little explored part of our ocean world is the
culmination of twenty years of diving the seas around Ireland,
Scotland, Canada, South Africa and Tasmania. From his voyages, he
brings us 120 photographs illustrating the colourful and bizarre
life below while also conveying the mood of exploration - his
photographs are interpretative rather than purely documentary. Of
the seven tenths of our blue planet, we have explored but a
fraction. Away from coral reefs, the ocean world between the
tropics and the poles is the most vibrant and productive of all our
seas. Beneath its grey roof lies a bounty of neon-coloured life as
well as offering us a time-capsule of our losses at sea - evoked by
the sombre mood of a lost ship. The bizarre underwater world holds
a fascination for many: for some it is the natural history of
beautiful flower-like anemones and brightly coloured fish. For
others, it is the predators we fear most - sharks. And for some,
the history of our sea-going losses resonates above ground. While
most people are aware of the beauties of our coral reefs, this book
differs from most collections of underwater photographs in looking
only at our cold seas. The seas on our doorstep are slow to give up
their secrets, making this collection of images from our emerald
seas something truly out of the ordinary and introducing us to
previously unseen marvels.
