Tiger's Apprentice series.
As apprentice to the Guardian of a sacred phoenix egg, Tom is forced to put what little magic he knows into action when he and the Guardian enter the underwater world of dragons to try to protect the egg. The relentless drama of battles, deception, and thievery is somewhat alleviated by humorous characterizations of the Guardian's loyal band of friends.
