Hawaii's isolation has produced a large number of species found nowhere else in the world. This combination of unusual species and volcanic formations gives the Hawaiian marine environment its distinct appearance. Beginning with a survey of the geological formation of the Hawaiian islands and the reef building power of the coral, this guide to the underwater environment of Hawaii describes many of the types of marine life likely to be encountered by snorkellers and scuba divers, and explains how this world came to be.
