Captivating Ocean. Expeditions into the Amazing World of Depths

1.337 billion cubic km — that's about how much water is contained in the World Ocean. The ocean also holds many secrets and wonders that have attracted poets and artists for centuries, and today also marine researchers and biologists. Get ready to break stereotypes and clichés! Seawater is not blue. Dolphins are not always friendly — they can be quite cruel, lustful, and capable of murder. The chance of being bitten by a shark is many times less than the chance of being trampled by a cow. Ocean life does not always follow the model of father — mother — child. Dive with Robert Hofrichter into the depths of the oceans to appreciate the beauty of coral reefs, unmatched by anything on Earth. Descend into the depths that hide a unique world, seen by fewer people than have visited the Moon! A world where some species use light signals to find partners, while others use romantic allure to fill their bellies. Where males, in order not to seek a female in total darkness, simply bite into her, so from then on, they only follow one meaning in life — the continuation of the species. Where the most terrifying creatures of Neptune reside. If you too are captivated by this mesmerizing and frightening universe, it is important to understand: it is not the sea that needs us, but we — it!
