Editor's Acknowledgements

Any book of this scope represents the sweat and talent of many people, and an awful lot of both have gone into this one.

The fieldwork for this volume—hundreds of dives, thousands of kilometers of airplane and boat travel, sometimes weeks at a time without a cold beer—was conducted by Kal Muller, a Hungarian-born photographer and writer who has spent some 20 years tromping around the archipelago with his cameras and notebook. Kal is an old friend and probably the most tireless and good-humored person I know. Others who have contributed to this volume:

Dr. Charles Anderson, a marine biologist with the Marine Research Section of the Ministry of Fisheries of the Republic of the Maldives, coauthored the marine life section and updated the practical section for Sumatra.

Cody Shwaiko, an experienced diver living in Bali, provided the Kangean Islands section, parts of the Banda dive narrative, and the sections on Sumba and Sangihe-Talaud. Cody has also provided several interesting photographs.
