There is a rhythm to the life on a coral reef, and who better to capture this rhythm than internationally known explorer/photographer Rick Sammon. He has spent more than one thousand hours over fourteen years exploring and photographing the beauty of the world's oceans. He has written more than a dozen books describing his experiences, including the award winning international best seller Seven Underwater Wonders of the World and The Complete Guide to Photographing Underwater Wonders.

To illustrate theincredible dynamics of reef life from the first light of dawn to the mysteries of the midnight sea Rick has chosen to photograph four spectacular, and totally separate reef formations: the Red Sea off Egypt at dawn, Truk Lagoon in Micronesia at midday, Cocos Island off Costa Rica at dusk and Bonaire in the Netherlands Antilles at night. Although these sites are thousands of miles apart, most fish, corals and invertebrates around the world share the same basic rhythm of life ... the rhythm of the reef.
