Close Encounters with Marine Life
Wildlife photography on land is nearly always done with a telephoto lens, with the photographer rarely getting close to the subject. Underwater photography, on the other hand, is the complete opposite, with the photographer required to get very close to the subject to capture great images. Fortunately, most marine animals are happy going about their daily lives with a diver looking on, allowing for memorable close encounters with these wonderful creatures of the deep.
Nigel Marsh has been documenting his close encounters with marine life for more than 40 years and in that time he has observed and photographed octopus mating, sharks feeding, fish fighting, seals showing off and many other incredible sights. Close Encounters with Marine Life details Nigel's underwater adventures with camera in hand, featuring some of his best images and many remarkable stories of his experiences with amazing marine life.

Splendid marine photography book for the coffee table. Surely there are many books like this one but the difference is that the photographer describes details on where and how he encountered them such as night tours, under piers, near islands etc. The photographer is very passionate and sentimental about all these animals. Many of the photos are captioned with his fondest memories of seeing that particular animal.
The images are superb with a huge variety of animals snapped. There is a lot of biological trivia included.
The book makes you wanna grab your diving gear and get in the water.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes animals but even moreso to anyone who is about to go on a diving tour and wants to know great viewing location ideas.
