DESCRIPTION:
New Jersey s coastline is home to more than 2,000 shipwrecks, some of the more famous of which are captured here. The subjects are both familiar and unfamiliar. Whether you are a fisherman, scuba diver, surfer, beach lover, environmentalist or just someone who loves the ocean, this is the book for you.. The author s personal accounts of thirty years of scuba diving and photographing in New Jersey round out this engaging book. Illustrated with over 230 brilliant color photos, this unique book introduces readers to the strange and beautiful animals found in the Atlantic waters off New Jersey. See the beauty of the one-half-inch long naked sea butterfly or the fascinating blue shark, sandbar shark, and sand tiger shark. Visit New Jersey s artificial reefs made of subway cars, army tanks, armored personnel carriers, tugboats, and large ships. Watch a goosefish (monkfish) devour a black sea bass or a sea star growing new arms
A perfect book Martin S. Dick How often do you get to write, "A perfect book." This book is the life's work of Herb Segars, arguably, New Jersey's best underwater photographer. His photos are stunning. New Jersey scuba divers have wanted this book for ever. Non-divers will be amazed at what New Jersey has under water. If you are a Northeast scuba diver, fisherman, coastal resident or beach comber you must get this book, and, if you are completely non-coastal, you, most of all, should get it.I rate this book all tens. Ten for photography, ten for layout, ten for quality and ten for text. Not a lot of writing, you will adore "Ben. Katiej Katiej Book is a nice table top book. Pictures are very nice and discriptions of the pictures and objects in the pictures is very infomative. I would recommend this book for any diver who dives on the Jersey Shore or just for Jersey Shore residents.. This is a great book Dana Rocco Macri I live in NYC and I am an avid diver. I NEVER thought there would be so much to see right next door to my state in NJ simple amazing.
