Overview

Every night, just beyond the reach of the sun, the single largest migration on Earth unfolds in the open ocean. Tiny creatures-some alien, some dazzling-rise from the abyss in a nightly ballet of survival and transformation. In The Field Guide to Blackwater Diving in Hawai'i, biologist, dive master, and acclaimed underwater photographer Jeff Milisen takes readers into this hidden world. More than 300 vivid images and firsthand accounts introduce you to a cast of translucent predators, glowing drifters, and tiny sea monsters few have ever seen. From thumbnail-sized squids to ghostly siphonophores longer than a school bus, these pelagic animals defy imagination-and challenge what we think we know about life in the sea. Set in the birthplace of blackwater diving-Kona, Hawai'i-this field guide is both an invitation and a warning: the oceans are wondrous, essential, and in peril. Milisen's message is clear-what happens in the deep matters to us all.
