Testimonial
'Blue Bubbles is so much more than a book with pretty pictures of colourful coral and exotic fish, although it is packed with some of the most beautiful underwater photos I have ever seen.
It is loaded with fascinating and detailed information about the extraordinary life that fills this unique ecosystem that are Fiji's reefs. On each page are fun facts about the life shown and how they all work together. I live in Fiji and have been a diver for over 40 years and this book has taught me so much and given me an even greater love of this beautiful place.
Alison is an extremely talented photographer and this book showcases her skill and love for her subject. There is so much in it that you will go back over and over again and keep finding new things to marvel over.'
