Welcome to the Underwater Kingdom blog
Following hot on the heels of our highly acclaimed book reef, Maldives – The Underwater Kingdom is Scubazoo’s latest coffee table book. Currently in production it is being slated for release in Autumn 2010.
This underwater photography blog will follow Scubazoo’s underwater photographers as they create the book. They’ll be diving some of the top dive sites in the Maldives as well as some of the lesser known and least explored reefs. We will also be bringing you updates from the design team as our underwater coffee table book Maldives – The Underwater Kingdom begins to take shape, as well as writing informative posts on diving issues in the Maldives. Please join us on this journey…
