Although underwater archaeology has assumed its rightful place as an important subdiscipline in the field, the published literature has not kept pace with the rapid increase in the number of both prehistoric and historic underwater sites. The editors have assembled an internationally distinguished roster of contributors to fill this gap. The book presents geographical and topical approaches, and focuses on technology, law, public and private institutional roles and goals, and the research and development of future technologies and public programs.

Following numerous courses in scuba diving, Gary Knapp embarked on a twelve-year filming adventure inspired by his promise to God to share with mankind the majestic life He created both under and above the world’s oceans. Through his vivid accounts, Gary takes you on an incredible journey beneath the depths of the seas, to exotic islands, and other countries by the oceans as he travels with marine biologists on trips around the globe. His experiences include riding on a camel in front of the Great Pyramids of Egypt and the Red Sea, plus inspecting underwater volcanos halfway around the world inside the Ring of Fire in Indonesia and the Philippines. Enjoy God’s splendid underwater flower gardens of soft coral in an array of rainbow colors while sailing around Australia and diving in Fiji. Take in the breathtakingly beautiful coral surrounded topside by snow-capped mountains and unique glaciers while diving under the icebergs of Alaska. Throughout his anecdotes, Gary reminds us of the value of God’s creatures to the oceanic ecosystem. God’s Beauty in the Deep shares interesting insights into earth’s fascinating and mysterious stories of shipwrecks, the heart-breaking poverty in various places, the world’s misinformed crusade against sharks, the tragedy of those who’ve never learned to swim in tsunami-plagued areas, plus his one perilous moment underwater!
