Caribbean Reef Life is now available as an expanded third edition!

Caribbean Reef Life covers the full range of a coral reef’s biodiversity. This expanded third edition is more than just an identification book; it aims to give divers a deeper understanding of these dynamic ecosystems and how different species, including our own, contribute to the reef as a whole. 
​
With more than 200 new species added, this third edition has over 1500 reef inhabitants identified and described, including color varieties, growth patterns and different life stages for many species.

​An essential companion on any diving trip, Caribbean Reef Life covers all aspects and inhabitants of a coral reef ecosystem, from the simple Marine Plants to Sponges, Hard Corals and Octocorals, Invertebrates, Reef Fishes, as well as Marine Mammals and Turtles. All in one handy book.
