Fishes of the Maldives - Indian Ocean is a comprehensive identification guide with over 1130 colour photographs of sharks, rays and fishes likely to be seen by divers. This book uses an innovative concept to allow easy retrieval and identification of species and is useful for researchers as well as divers and snorkellers. It includes a systematic classification and detailed description for each species and describes points of interest and differences between similar species. The 1st edition of the book was published in 1998 as Photo Guide to Fishes of the Maldives, by Rudie H Kuiter, with Joerg Aebi, Toshikazu Kowawa and Neville Coleman as major contributing photographers.
A 2nd Edition was published in 2014 as Fishes of the Maldives - Indian Ocean, with the sharks and rays section being authored by Timothy Godfrey. The book was updated again in 2018.
This 3rd Edition includes a major review of information about the sharks and rays of the Maldives and includes an additional three sharks and two rays likely to be seen by divers. It also includes recent changes to the IUCN Red list of Threatened Species and changes in classification of a total of 26 shark, ray and fish species.
A new updated, water resistant companion guide to the book, the Maldives Fish Field Guide is also available.

He has published scientific papers on biology and descriptions of new taxa, and articles on seahorses, seadragons and other aquatic life have appeared in magazines around the world.
Timothy J. Godfrey has been researching the atolls of the Maldives since 1986 when he started work as a dive instructor and guide on safari boats. He is also the author of the books Dive Maldives, Atlas of the Maldives and the Maldives Divers and Travellers Map. In 2007, he returned to marine studies and completed a Bachelor Science (Marine Biology) degree at James Cook University, Qld in 2013.
