Customer Reviews

Beautifully written, fabulous photos and useful info
This book has a lovely balance of stunning photos, practical information and it is written with heart. For the dives I wouldn't actually do (ie they are too cold!) I still got a real sense of the experience. This was written by people who love what they do.

Very well presented book covering a wide range of dives sites
The book covers the best dives sites around the world, with well written sections that describe each dive in a good level of detail. Having dived several of the sites, the photos and narrative capture the essence of each dive beautifully for both the experienced diver and non-diver. The tips on how to get to each dive site, along with a summary of the visibility, currents and depths really bring each dive to life.

Stunning pictures and inspiring writing from two very experienced divers make this a lovely book, and a good one for the coffee table!

A must have book.
This is an excellent, well thought through book that would be of interest not just to divers. It has really useful information on the locations that anyone thinking of visiting these places would find extremely useful. The pics are stunning and the whole book is very easy to read and lovley to look at. The authors have really thought about what the reader wants to get from the book - you won't be disappointed!
