Sylvia loves everything about the ocean. The salt on her lips, the feeling of her toes sinking into the sand. Watching the dolphins diving through the surf, Sylvia longed for nothing more than to follow them into their underwater world and discover their secrets. But dreams don't come true . . . or do they? Based on the life of ground-breaking an epic ocean explorer, this stunningly illustrated story delves into the depths of Sylvia Earle's life, career and achievements, inspiring a new generation of aquanauts to take the plunge.
