A Year Underwater: Twelve Months of Diving, Fraternizing with Marine Life, and Just Having a Great Time, from the St. Lawrence River to West Palm Beac - Paperback

by Jerry Shine (Author)

Between New Year's Day and New Year's Eve of 2015, author Jerry Shine dove up and down the East Coast of North America, through winter storms and summer heat waves. A Year Underwater is his record of that year, of creatures mating, spawning, hiding and making meals of one another, all within a stone's throw of the beach. Nowhere in the world can you get closer to wildlife than you can in the ocean. A Year Underwater takes you there, within inches of squadrons of squid, seven-foot sharks, 20-pound lobsters, and myriad creatures living in minuscule worlds almost too small to see. This is a book for anyone who loves the feel of the ocean, or who's ever looked at it and wondered what was happening beneath its surface.

He writes mainly about the ocean, which he's been looking at it and wondering what was happening underneath for as long as he can remember. His specialty is photographing and writing about creatures that live within steps of the shoreline. There's nothing Jerry loves as much as spending time on, under, or near the water with family and friends, and he hopes to keep doing so well into his hundreds. He currently lives in Somerville, MA with his stunning wife, Daisy, and their incredible son, Zeke.
