Beneath Our Bay: Discovering the Hidden Secrets of Port Phillip teams three Australian scientists—Evan Y. Coker, Christopher G. Smith and John J. Gaskell—to reveal what lies under one of Victoria’s busiest stretches of water. Their 2009 hardcover blends geography, geoscience and zoology with vivid diving anecdotes, giving landlubbers and divers alike a fresh lens on Port Phillip’s submerged landscapes and marine life.

Natural-science enthusiasts will appreciate the concise 164-page survey: sediment patterns, reef structures, historic shipwrecks and the bay’s surprising ecological niches are mapped in clear language and generous colour plates. The authors’ field notes make technical data approachable, turning the book into both a desk reference and an inspiring pre-dive read.

This clean, tightly bound copy shows no writing, dog-ears or smoke odour—just crisp pages ready for the shelf or the boat’s dry bag. Perfect for collectors of Australian marine titles or anyone curious about the secrets beneath Melbourne’s backyard coastline.
