Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's greatest migration of animal life occurs every evening when uncountable numbers of mostly small marine organisms rise up from the dark, chilly depths of the open ocean to its surface waters. The people who witness this nighttime migration are blackwater divers"€"brave divers who throw themselves off a boat in the dark of night in open ocean waters that are, for all practical purposes, bottomless. The animals that we encounter range in size from baby squids smaller than a pinky nail to forty-foot long jellyfish called siphonophores. Kona is the birthplace and world headquarters for blackwater diving. Its proximity to deep water and favorable ocean conditions make Hawai'i the perfect place for blackwater diving, but divers can also visit places such as Florida, the Philippines, Indonesia, and even Papua New Guinea to see many similar animals. Blackwater Diving in Hawai'i is designed to satisfy the curious ocean aficionado by presenting beautiful photos and information on over 300 strange pelagic animals, most of which you won't find in a standard field guide to reef animals. This book is intended to present an overview of life in the open ocean at night. Each epipelagic creature is given five minutes in the spotlight to explore a little of what we know about them.

The relaxed lifestyle and breezy climate of this mid–Pacific paradise are famous the world over, and "The Islands," with their stark, volcanic seascapes, water that is more transparent than the air over Los Angeles, and abundance of big pelagic fish have become one of the most popular diving areas in the world. But most divers only scratch the surface of this very interesting archipelago. Did you know that almost one–quarter of Hawaii's marine fish are found nowhere else? That Hawaii is perhaps the only place in the world where the green sea turtle is not considered endangered? Our authors have more than twenty years' experience with these waters, and their combined dives number well into the five figures. In Diving Hawaii they share this knowledge, giving you all the information you need—whether you are headed for the calm, rich reef of Maui's Molokini Island or the rugged, current–swept rocks off distant Niihau. And this guide, for the first time, includes information on newly opened Midway, in the remote northwest of the Hawaiian chain, the wild and exciting frontier of Pacific Ocean diving. This Hawaii diving guide features: Practicalities: Island by island prices and contacts for dive operators, accommodations, and transportation. Maps: Accurate, detailed marine charts for every diving area. Photography: More than 130 shots by one of the world's foremost underwater professionals.
