diving experts share the world's greatest destinations

Chris Santella has invited diving experts from around the world to share some of their favorite destinations, so ardent divers can experience these underwater wonders for themselves - either on location in their SCUBA gear, or at home in their armchair. Readers will swim among whale sharks off Myanmar, befriend wolf eels off the coast of Maine, and marvel at the giant mola mola of Lembognan, Indonesia. These wonderful creatures - plus the brilliant coral reefs that often provide their backdrop - are captured in 40 gorgeous color photos from the world's greatest underwater photographers
