Another outstanding book in the series. December 8, 2004

Once again, reading the list of photo-credits at the back of this book is like reading the index in a "Who's Who in the world of Underwater Photography." This is an exciting book with colour photographs (though occasionally a map or diagram) on every single page and the standard of reproduction is as good as it gets.As with "Sharks & Rays" (a book in the same series), the content is also as good as it gets and, if you only had room to pack a single book on the subject before setting out to discover some of these excellent creatures, then this book will satisfy all your requirements. Commencing with their customary "Understanding" Whales Dolphins and Porpoises, the reader is then taken on a journey which provides a complete and wide understanding of these incredible creatures - many species of which remain on the brink of extinction. With sections on hunting, captivity, migration and much more plus a page dedicated to each specific species, this book is as complete as it should be and fully lives up to the promise in the title of being an "Ultimate" guide. Altogether and excellent book and an essential addition to any scuba diver's library. NM

This book is really great. I really love how the book is divided into various sections, including a section on places to whale watch around the world. I absolutely love the pictures and illustrations too. I highly recommend it :-)!!

I have read this book and it's amazing. I am only 11 years old, but I still love cetaceans!
