Review
This book gives us a rare insight into the mindset, dedication and imagination involved in creating magnificent underwater images ... I sat down and read this enjoyable book from cover to cover. The lack of techno-talk makes it a very accessible method to improve your photography ... The images are some of the finest you will see in a guide to underwater photography. About half are the very best from the Ferrari s own collection, while uniquely the other half come from a cast of 21 guest photographers that includes the likes of Doug Perrine, Tony Wu, Eric Cheng, Charles Hood and Stephen Wong. --Alex Mustard (author of Reefs Revealed and The Art of Diving), Wetpixel

With an enviable reputation for authoring fine books on underwater photography, the Ferraris have laced the pages of their new book with juicy pictures (...) There is none of the pseudo-art talk that often ruins otherwise beautiful books of photographs. I read it from cover to cover, and it s a great read. The pictures do the talking, and need no talking-up. (...) This 360-page volume doesn t have a weak page in it. --John Bantin, Diver Magazine, April 2008

This book is filled with spectacular images, designed not only to offer great technical guidance, but also help the underwater photographer discover and develop the artist within. Clearly the best and most beautiful 'how-to" book ever produced. Rigorously field-tested digital techniques; the hidden techniques behind imaginative framing and lighting, wide-angle and fish-eye to macro photography, from fish portraits to above/below split images, from basic point-and-shoot digital pocket cameras to complex housed professional DSLR systems, it's all here in a highly-readable, technically-accessible, step-by-step guide. --Undercurrent, April 2008
