Books: Ocean Adventures with Mike

True ocean stories for readers ages 3 to 18

Every book opens with an entry from an expedition logbook and the words, “This really happened.” From more than four decades of diving, rescue work, and ocean adventure come stories about sharks, caves, currents, and reefs, each one leading to real science, real connections, and something the reader can do.

Flagship: Move Toward the Shark

Fear shrinks when understanding grows. Move Toward the Shark follows a real encounter with sharks and turns it into a way into science, risk, and decision-making, told in four editions, one for each Ocean IQ stage.

Every edition is reviewed by scientists and educators before release.
