Customer Reviews

an opinion
The book is very well produced and is very pleasing. The information regarding resorts is comprehensive and the photography is excellent. Personally I would have preferred a little more space devoted to photographs of the sealife of each region beacuse that is what appealed to me the most. The photographs which are provided are of a very high standard and make me wish I could dive more often.

The Ultimate Dive Guide for Divers with Deep Pockets
Simond has produced the Gold Standard for divers that seek the ultimate in diving with 5* Luxury on hand. For many of us divers with wives/husbands and children that don't dive there is something for everybody. As the book advertises Dive,Snorkel,Chill is what is available at all Simond's destinations (what about The Galapagos ?) and having visited some of them, his advice on climate,rooms and 'expecting to see' is spot on !
Put every destination on your wish list and you will not be disappointed.

Dive in Style
This book has been comprehensivly researched over quite a long time, by someone who appears to be passionate about the sport. The Photograpy is really very good, bearing in mind anyone who has tried there hand at underwater photograthy will know just how difficult it is, the whole concept of combinig good hotels with quality dive sites can be very hit and miss, expensive mistakes can easily be made, this book is a must for all divers, i cannot recomened it more highly. clp
