    Gorgeous Channel Islands coffee table book

    A friend of the author sent us this link: Home

    Looks like a beautiful book for those of us who have dived these lovely places, or would like to.

    Yeah, I put my order in as soon as I thumbed through the book on the site. I hope he gets enough orders to get it printed!

    Since the site is taking pre-orders, do you know what he time line is for the book to actually be published/printed?

    that looks like a fantastic book and it shows exactly why I love Calif diving!
    People just don't realize how incredible the diving is, how many crazy critters, gorgeous kelp, nudibranchs and sea lions, horn sharks and leopard sharks, batrays and garibaldis - I love them all. and there they are, so close to US shores.
    Everyone keeps talking about going to places like Indonesia to see all the interesting critters...... and I keep saying "but there are just as many cool ones in Calif, for about 1/10th of the trip cost, no language barrier, and no jet lag!"

    I may have to order this too!

    A friend of mine was just talking to me and asking how my diving in Hawaii was....I told him it was good, but that I missed socal diving because it is absolutely fantastic. He was appalled and shocked....he was so confused. I sent him this link, so hopefully he'll understand soon!

    This looks like an absolutely gorgeous book! It portrays many of the things I love the most about socal diving (well, at least in the preview pages that I got to see).

    Thanks for the link Lynne!

    The sample pages certainly capture the beauty of our local diving dont they? I'm curious enough to see the rest, so I have ordered a copy.

    It does look like a nice book... thanks for posting. Being the dive bum that I am, I may have to wait until I can find it used. $60 is a lot of air fills.
