Down Under at the Prom
— A guide to marine life and dive sites at Wilsons Promontory

by Marg O'Toole and Malcolm Turner

A very well presented book covering dive sites as well as the marine animals of Wilsons Promontory. Commences with a description of the unique features of 'The Prom', the diving opportunities, and use of underwater photography. This is followed by an extensive section on the marine life — why the Prom is so interesting: its seaweeds and grasses, the sponges, cnidarians, worms, mosses, crustacea, sea-spiders, echinoderms, molluscs, sea-squirts, fish, mammals and seabirds. A thirty page section covers the better dive sites in some detail. Definitely recommended reading. Covers the major locations, and strong on marine life to be expected.

Wilsons Promontory has the best diving in Victoria and this book is the best guide to diving there that is still available.
