The //Dive// series by Gordon Korman is about four kids on a marine expedition for the summer, diving to explore an underwater habitat that's just been altered by a seismic event. While exploring the ocean, they find much more than fish. Kaz, Star, Adrianna, and Dante find a sunken treasure. As they try to salvage the treasure they have to worry about sharks. As the class learns about marine biomes, the book //Dive// can enhance the lesson by offering the students an ocean adventure.
