We first meet Callum as a young student who had never been abroad, spending a summer helping to map the unknown reefs of Saudi Arabia. From that moment, when Callum first cleared his goggles, he never looked back. He went on to survey Sharm al-Sheikh, and from there he would dive into the deep in the name of research all over the world, from Australia's imperiled Great Barrier Reef to the hardier reefs of the Caribbean. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eReef Life\u003c\/i\u003e is filled with astonishing stories of adventure and the natural world, which are by turns lyrical and laced with a wonderful wry humor.
