About the Living Seashells Book

Living Seashells focuses on marine molluscs with visible shells that divers encounter on coral reefs across the Indo-Pacific.

The guide is designed for:
- scuba divers
- underwater macro photographers
- marine life enthusiasts
- dive professionals
- citizen science observers
It works as a practical visual reference for identifying seashell species after dives or when reviewing underwater photographs.
