Every once in a while I am lucky enough to be sent a book or movie for review on The Sietch. Recently I was sent Reef, by DK Publishing. Sometimes called the rain forests of the sea, coral reefs are some of the most biologically diverse regions on the planet. This amazing ecosystem is almost impossible to describe with words. Luckily for us the reader Reef is jam packed with hundreds of stunningly beautiful pictures.
These breathtaking pictures were lovingly put together by the underwater film group Scubazoo, and they did a bang up job. If you have ever tried to take a picture of something in low light, or if it was moving, you know how hard it can be. Now try doing it with sharks swimming around you while you sink further and further from the surface.
More great pictures after the fold.
