Adventure Beneath the Sea: Living in an Underwater Science Station
Written by Ken Mallory; Illustrated by Brian Skerry
Astronauts are scientists who explore the stars. Aquanauts are scientists who study the sea. This book is a fantastic look at what it's like to prepare to and live in an underwater science station. Is it quiet? No, since water is a better conductor of sound than air, the ocean is actually pretty noisy. Written in a way that is easy to relate to this is a great book for kids who want to know more about the ocean.
