In 256 pages illustrated with 212 sumptuous photographs, he shows us the mysterious and startling peculiarities of life forms which have evolved under the sea for millions of years. Are you ready to experience the mysteries of the underwater world? The seastar (starfish), whose powerful arms can reach into a mussel shell open only a millimeter to insert their own stomach and digest their victim. Coral, created by symbiosis between plant and animal, has given life to the seas for 500 million years. Squid, who in order to propagate themselves, relinquish life as soon as they have laid their eggs. Decorator crabs, who disguise themselves by breaking off particles of coral to stick over their bodies. Putterfish, who in their internal organs carry nature's most deadly poison.

New English Original bdg. HC. Folio. (32 x 25 cm). In English and Turkish. [xvi], 192 p., b/w and color ills. After the world's first scientific underwater excavation took place at Cape Gelidonya in Turkey, in 1960, a group of distinguished scientists pioneered by George Bass shed light on an important part of history by making great efforts in excavations in Turkish waters. And the unsung heroes of the period are sponge divers, who showed the location of these shipwrecks to the archaeologist. We know that particularly the sponge divers of Bodrum were the ones who informed the archaeologists on the shipwrecks that are presently known and excavated. This book represents, a snapshot of the lives of these unsung heroes. Mustafa Kapkin being one of the first underwater photographers of Turkey, experienced their way of living and passed it down in its simplest form. Mustafa Kapkin is not just an underwater photography artist, but he also adores his country and the cultural heritage of this land. He is a remarkable person who guided Peter Throckmorton in our country in 1958, introduced him to Bodrum and its sponge divers, and then made an effort to introduce the underwater shipwrecks to the world.
