Book Reviews of Dive Atlas of the World: An Illustrated Reference to the Best Sites
Book Review: Fabulous Pictures!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was purchased as a gift for my husband. It was delivered in a very timely manner (the day before I needed it, which was fabulous!!) I haven't really spent much time reading it, but the pictures are amazing!Book Review: Super maps, but....
Summary: 3 Stars
Definitely not enough coverage of the Caribbean and Atlantic sites. This book should be named the Pacific and Indian Ocean Dive Atlas. It is a quality written book however that covers the included sites thoroughly. Would recommend it but not for Caribbean reference! Book Review: Comprehensive Dive Atlas
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really big coffee table size book that is stocked with information about dive sites throughout the world, Some parts of the world (Asia) are given more space than others (Carribbean), but overall, it touches all the bases. I like the way it took individual divesites and broke down the dives with temps, currents, difficultly status, and photos. The maps of the areas profiled is worth the price of the book alone (which is reasonably priced.) If you get one book to get an overview of what's out there, this is agood place to start. Book Review: Nicely illustrated overview of dive sites of the world
Summary: 5 Stars
Coffee table book. Nicely illustrated and informative listing and overview of dive sites of the world. Lots of vacation ideas, including some I wasn't aware of before.
Good motivation for new divers as well.
