Synopses & Reviews
Part of a new series of scuba diving guides more complete than any other guides
on the market. Full-color, three-dimensional maps of each dive site offer what no book has
ever before provided: the information needed to plan your dive down to the last detail.
You can review the exact layout of the site--including depths, sizes, and distances between
reefs and wrecks or any hazards--and even the lighting conditions for optimum underwater
photography. The short chapters covering the 28 dives in each book provide crucial data
about depth, currents, weather variables, and plant and animal life, and each book ends with
a full-color visual encyclopedia of the most common fish that inhabit the area.
The lively text by dive experts has been vetted by Diving Science and Technology Corporation
(DSAT), which is a corporate affiliate of the Professional Association of Diving Instructors
(PADI), making these the most reliable guides for the expert as well as the first-time diver.
Watch for future titles on the Red Sea and the Great Barrier Reef.
