John Collins, who is an award-winning photographer with a special interest in the sea, took the cover photograph. Cool Waters, Emerald Seas: Diving Temperate Waters

Cool Waters, Emerald Seas: Diving Temperate Waters takes us on a
marine adventure within the oceans that lap many of our most populated
shores, from the north Atlantic around western Europe, to the chilly
Pacific of North America and south to the Great White sharks of Africa.
This photographic portrait of a little explored part of our ocean world
is the culmination of twenty years of diving the seas around Ireland,
Scotland, Canada, South Africa and Tasmania.
