Más información sobre el libro

The South China Sea extends from the northern limit of mainland Asia and Taiwan to the southern limit of the waters separating Sumatra and Borneo. It is bounded on the west by the Gulf of Thailand and the east by the Philippine Islands. This abundant body of water is studded by reef shoal areas, islets and banks, many of which are surrounded by shallow, clear warm waters that offer the underwater explorer a rich and profound experience baffling to the imagination. In these waters, living things of all colours, shapes and sizes live and interrelate in living communities called coral reefs.In Insight Guide Underwater: Marine Life in the South China Sea, which is intended to help SCUBA divers appreciate the profusion of life in this region, author, science educator and certified SCUBA diver Margret Gremli imparts to the reader the product of countless hours of research. Her text is illustrated with a magnificent collection of more than 300 photographs. Insight Guide Underwater: Marine Life in the South China Sea is part of a new travel series by APA Publications, publishers of the acclaimed Insight Guides.
