The author made his first dives in tropical waters around Sri Lankka 25 years ago. Since then he explored the whole Indian Ocean with his camera, diving not only in the tourists centres like the Maldives or Seychelles, but also taking uw-photos at remote islands like Cocos-Keeling in the East of Aldabra in the West. The results are shown in this book including more than 1.000 photos from the natural habitat of the marine animals. Special emphasis was given to rare species like sharks and rays.

"Most comprehensive reef guide I have seen! – Helmut Debelius has really come up with a winner. If you need one book to cover the marine environment, this is it. The guide covers everything one can expect to encounter in the Indian Ocean. Everything is there: marine invertebrates, crustaceans, bony fish, cartilaginous fish, molluscs, corals, mammals and reptiles.
While most reef guides either tend to be limited in their scope, or overly technical, the IORG is a perfect compromise. All entries include both the common name and the scientific name to aid those wanting to do further research. With over 1000 photographs taken in the natural habitat of the subject, identification is a simple process. Where applicable, photographs of juveniles are also included. This book is worth purchasing if only for the fantastic photography!
Each subsection includes a brief description of the class, covering habitat, reproduction and feeding habits. There are also interesting sidebars covering specific creatures, e.g. the Coelacanths and expeditions in the Comoros to film them in their natural habitat.
This book has become and invaluable possession, which I use on a daily basis while guiding divers around the Indian Ocean. Thanks for a truly fantastic book."
