The eGuide to Sharks and Rays is a comprehensive guide to the species of sharks and rays likely to be encountered in the Western Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. It features 47 sharks and 30 rays with annotated cut-out diagrams, over 300 full colour pictures and species information. Also included is a comprehensive guide to the tourism opportunities available for encounters with sharks and rays – where, when, what and how.

Compiled by renowned underwater photographer and author Dennis King, shark scientist Geremy Cliff and marine scientist Pamela Le Noury, the guide is a fantastic tool for budding shark and ray enthusiasts, fishermen and divers to learn more about the animals, and help identify species.
