Honu's Reef

By Steven Kamlet

The Tales of Scuba Steve: Honu's Reef is about a young boy named Ben, an excited young camper returning to Camp Oneega at the start of summer. Ben quickly reunites with his camp friends, Oliver and Al, and their counselors. As the boys catch up, they begin to wonder whether this is the year they will finally be placed in Scuba Steve's swim group.

With luck on their side, they are asked to join Scuba Steve's group...and that's when Ben and the gang are teleported to Hawaii, where they experience undersea adventures with Scuba Steve and the local turtle, Honu!

Dive right in and join the adventure!

"Where else can you combine the joys of summer camp with the adventure of underwater exploration? The Tales of Scuba Steve: Honu's Reef leads us all on an amazing journey through friendship and discovery in a fun and magical way." -Adam Langbart, Merrick Woods Country Day School & Camp

"Through Steve's words, I could sense the incredible and passionate human writer he is, who cares about our future generations. As a marine conservationist and diver, I enjoyed reading this amazing book and I support his mission. This adventure will help the next generation not only to increase their confidence in the diving world, but will also foster a desire to learn and protect the important life support system of our oceans and its creatures. This book is a unique and special gift to help kids build a beautiful relationship with our oceans and encourage them to follow their aquatic dreams!" -Regina Domingo, Executive Director and Founder of the Nakawe Project

Foreword

I remember the first time I put on SCUBA gear and took that first trip underwater when I was twelve. That trip introduced me to a magical world where everything was different; the animals and landscapes I saw were from another world. This underwater playground just happens to be here within our reach all the time! As I grew up, I kept pushing my limits within this new world to see what I could do, turning into a professional diver and getting to dive with some of the best in the world!

As I keep pushing forward into this new world, I continue to meet new, amazing friends like tiger sharks, hammerhead sharks, humpback
