Product Overview
Please note: This study guide contains two versions – a full-colour guide and a text-only version for printing and referencing.
My Underwater World uncovers the mysteries of South Australia’s Limestone Coast through the eyes and camera of famed cave diver Dr Richard ‘Harry’ Harris (2019 Australian of the Year, Tham Luang Cave Rescue).
This region is unique: the gateway to deep, interconnected networks of underwater caves and sinkholes and full of hidden secrets simmering beneath the surface. As we follow the water’s journey through the underworld to the ocean, these rarely seen worlds are experienced through cinematic, underwater footage. Told through Dr Harry’s personal connection to the region and his expertise as a cave diver, we come to understand the science behind the mysteries.
