A must have for Nudibranch lovers by Dennis A. Mccrea

5 Stars
February 20, 2009
This book is a "must have" for anyone serious about Nudibranch identification. My wife and I travel quite a bit for scuba diving vacations, and are avid video and digital photographers. We operate a small dive charter business in Kona Hawaii - Underwater Adventures Hawaii - and as dive professionals, can highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in high quality pictures and great descriptions of each Nudibranch.
