Book Synopsis
When viewed from a quiet beach, the ocean, with its rolling waves and vast expanse, can seem calm, even serene. Written with a diver's love of the ocean, a novelist's skill at storytelling, the author takes us deep into the sea to introduce an astonishing cast of fascinating and bizarre creatures that make the salty depths their home.

Trade Review
"Packed with excellent conversation fodder for your next date, this book details the strange lives and mating rituals of sea creatures. Choose your anecdotes wisely, though: That romantic seafood dinner may become less appetizing once you explain that lobsters use urine during foreplay, or that male octopi copulate with a 'specialized baby-maker arm." (Sierra Magazine) "A tastefully scandalous tour of defensive secretions and extreme sexual flexibility backs up a plea for ocean conservation." (Science News)"
