Absorbingly interesting - Oceans review by JD
Although some of the fill in scenes are a little amateurish (notably Jacque C's grandson's crocodile tears) the underwater stuff is just fantastic. Very interesting information about oceans and measuring change in the fauna. The divers seem to have no concept of fear, yearning, it seems, to be surrounded by hammerheads. Some techy details about diving are thrown in and I would have liked a little more detail, similarly some more about measuring ocean currents. May be not to everyone's taste but then again to be sciencey and popular risks appealing to no one.
