Dive: The Ultimate Guide to the World's Top Dive Locations

by Monty Halls

A guide to 250 dives in the world's 70 best locations. Diving vacations are expensive, and good advance planning is critical. Lavishly illustrated, Dive provides comprehensive information on each destination -- its history, geography, marine life and special attractions. Informative maps pinpoint the diving sites. Quick reference charts list general conditions, such as water temperatures, visibility, "must sees," strong currents and travel advice. The expanded new edition includes up-to-date information, as well as new -- and more accessible -- sites. Among the book's features Dive is organized into specific dives in 11 North America, Pacific Ocean, Caribbean, Atlantic Ocean, Britain, Mediterranean, Red Sea, Africa, Indian Ocean, Australia and Southeast Asia. Destinations range from basic to extremely hazardous dives, making Dive a valuable reference for even the longest diving career.

This book is my bible. I have travelled the globe with it, ticking off dive sites as I go. The details are excellent and not over the top. It gives travel advice too, as a lot of these countries and sites are dangerous and hard to get to. The photography is excellent and the contact lists help you organise and plan your dives better, it has even helped us make new friends. I love this book, it is humorous in parts and extremely useful. It has also been highlighted, dog-eared, marked and well read. I rarely leave Australia without it. Nice one Monty!
