About

After becoming certified divers in 2000, Elissa and Jody Thompson became increasingly interested in exploring different cultures and unique underwater environments. Their travels have taken them to some of the most unique and ecologically rich places in the world including, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Tanzania, Maldives, Palau, Jamaica, Mexico, Honduras, Honduras, the Bahamas and their own backyard the California coast.

Their passion for underwater exploration, marine biodiversity and underwater photography has been translated into a new series of dive travel and species Identification books. Written and photographed for recreational divers and those who want to know more about the location and species they see, these books bring to life the richness of our fragile marine communities.
