Jon Michaels and his marine biologist mother have plans for a quiet vacation on an island in the South Pacific. But MURV - an underwater research vehicle - changes all that. They embark on an exciting underwater adventure into the strange and beautiful world above and below a barrier reef. You’ll meet fantastic sea creatures: moral eels, a giant squid, humpback whales, and Jon’s "pet" octopus Eight Ball. Then you’ll discover the eerie and unearthly creatures that live in deepest parts of the ocean around the black smokers in the depths of the Tonga Trench, including giant clams, huge vent worms, and creatures that will never see the light of the sun. Treasures of the Barrier Reef is fun, exciting, and filled with amazing facts about one of the strangest and most beautiful parts of out planet.

There are no rips, tears or folds to the pages. There is a large inscription in ink on the first page - see the last photograph.
