Down Under, Down Under: Diving Adventures on the Great Barrier Reef

Scuba diving in the waters of Australia's Great Barrier Reef is magical, especially to a twelve-year-old girl. 
Living on a dive boat, she experiences all the beauties of the reef. Every day is filled with thrilling adventures - and sometimes more danger than she ever expected. 
She dives with monster-size fish that weigh 200 pounds. One day she is surrounded by poisonous sea snakes, ten times more deadly than the cobra. Another time she feeds sharks from the platform of the dive boat and watches as they go into a feeding fren zy right in front of her! She explores a ghost ship where fish are said to be as big as cars, meets one-horned unicorn fish, adorable clown fish, and tests the old myth of just how dangerous a giant clam can be. 
Ann McGovern blends her own diving experiences with poetic science and uses her skill as a storyteller to bring readers a science story as absorbing and accurate as her book Night Dive, named an Outstanding Childrens Science Book for Children: National S cience Teachers Association and the Childrens Book Council. 1984
