Outdoor Photography Magazine ""It is full of mind-blowingly good images. As you then delve in more deeply, you find all the information you need to do just that - improve your photography. There is no doubt that this will be considered THE essential read for those who are just starting out in underwater photography all the way to the seasoned pros."" Scubaverse.com ""marine biologist [and] underwater photographer Alex Mustard is the modern master of what he does, and willingly reveals to others, by way of escorted photo-safaris, how he does it. Instead of producing just a coffee table book of pictures, he is more didactic in his approach, disguising his superb photos in this book as demonstrations of how to do it, or as inspiration to others to have a go themselves. It's a master class and it's stuffed with information."" Undercurrent Magazine
