    New Zealand Marine Life ID Books?

    howdy,
    I am preparing for a move to NZ. I am a PADI MSDT, and planning to continue teaching once I arrive. I have not been able to find a good NZ fish/invertebrate ID book. Anyone know of any? I have Paul Humann's Tropica Pacific which includes NZ, sorta.....but was hoping to find something more region specific. Thanks in advance for any leads
    Regards
    edward
