Andrey Ryanskiy

This recent book by a friend of mine, Andrey Ryanskiy, showing live animal photos of seashells. It runs about 266 pages and is full of extraordinary photographs of extraordinary animals--and I would say that even if Jeanette and I had not contributed some of them! If you're interested in what the animals of seashells look like, this is a worthwhile acquisition. It is available in soft cover hardcopy from Amazon or ebook format from Reef ID Books.

Fantastic and comprehensive guide to coral reefs crustaceans! All shrimps, crabs and lobsters you saw or would like to see while diving or snorkelling are described in this book. Praise to the author for all the hard work put in when collecting the photos! Must have for all ocean lovers, divers and UW photographers! - from review of our customer.

"Andrey has done a great job again with this new reference for Indonesia! I am always impressed with his guides, but this is probably my favorite. I am looking forward to checking out more of the pics!" - from customer's review

From Amazon customer review "Another great release from Andrey - beautiful photos, easy to follow, and helpful to use for critter identification"

"The Maldives presents such a rich variety of marine life, that it is important to understand what you are looking at underwater, whether you are a diver or just snorkeler.
It looks great. Excellent photographs, fun facts about marine life. If you are going to visit the Maldives this book is a must-have. Highly recommended!" - customer review
