The Antarctic Dive Guide is the first and only dive guide to the
seventh continent, until recently the exclusive realm of scientific and
military divers. Today, however, the icy waters of Antarctica have
become the extreme destination for recreational divers wishing to
explore beyond the conventional and observe the strange marine life that
abounds below the surface. This book is packed with information about
the history of diving in Antarctica and its wildlife, and features
stunning underwater photography.
The Antarctic Dive Guide covers 31 key dive sites on the Antarctic
Peninsula and South Georgia and includes maps and detailed guidance on
how best to explore each site. Essential information is also provided on
how to choose and prepare for travel to this remote region, and diving
techniques for subzero waters. This book is an indispensable resource
for anyone considering diving in Antarctica, and an exciting read for
anyone interested in this little-explored underwater world.
This fully revised and updated third edition:
- Covers 4 new dive sites
- Features revised and updated information for the other 27 sites
covered
- Includes new sections on the Sea Leopard Project and natural product
chemistry from Antarctic marine organisms
