Under Antarctic Ice
Under Antarctic Ice, The Photographs of Norbert Wu (The University of California Press, October 2004)—a collection of the finest photographs ever taken underwater in deep Antarctica—illuminates a startlingly beautiful and surreal realm. Internationally renowned photographer Norbert Wu was given unprecedented access to the icy waters of Antarctica by the U.S. National Science Foundation to obtain these dramatic photographs, and his images reveal an amazingly rich diversity of life forms.

CA Marine Life DVD
If you want to learn how to recognize the creatures you see while you’re diving, this program is the place to start. If you’ve ever wondered how to tell the difference between a seal and a sea lion, which sharks are the most common in coastal waters, or where to find sand dollars, this program is made for you. It’s ideal for dive classes, marine biology courses, or anyone who has an interest in the fascinating critters and marine plants found off the coast of California. It contains information on the common species you’ll find during most dives, rather than on the exotic creatures few people ever have the chance to encounter. Some of the species featured in the program include nudibranchs, crabs, many different types of fish (from gobys to black sea bass), octopus, lobsters, moray eels, elephant seals, and much more.

California Marine Life Identification is offered exclusively on DVD and has a suggested retail price of $17.95. It’s available at most diving retailers throughout Southern California.
