The Reef Set
If you dive or snorkel in the Caribbean this set of books is simply "a must have". Everything you need to know about everything from the largest sharks to the smallest molluscs are in these books. Absolutely brilliant!!!

For Identification Only!
These volumes are for identification purposes of species only. They offer no information on the dynamics or interactions of reef ecosystems. The books are ring bound meaning great care will have to be taken to keep them in pristine condition, also to note is that the bindings are of plastic and not metal making them even weaker. The species listed are specifically for Florida, Bahamas and the Caribbean and the information offered on them I found to be sparse. A guide such as those published by Collins is far superior. If you are naturalist diving regularly in the above areas and wish to identify everything you see then these books are ideal. However, if you are a regular diver you will know most of the species listed already. For the price these books fall far from expectations.

Brilliant, best 'Fish Finder' I have seen.
Having dived out in Tortola, I 'borrowed' his book, and found it invaluable to identify the hundreds of species of fish out there. Now I have purchased the Travellers Reef Set, and can increase my knowledge before my next visit. Absolutely invaluable to those who dive the area, and photographers/videoagraphers alike. Thank You Paul!
