Great book with the best dive sites in South Florida, especially if you don't have a boat (nor the money) and can only do beach dives, very simply written, with excellent descriptions of the sites.

This is a great book covering a lot of diving sites in FL, including springs and ocean sites. The only "problem" that I have with the book is the inclusion of advertising (dive shops, etc) but at the end of the day it actually helps when trying to locate a diveshop, etc.

i have used the book about a 100 times for dive sites
starting with the old 2nd. edition. it is very good book
to have to ref. dive sites boat, beach, springs. too bad the fl.
gov. has a steep fee on everything. when you say diving
the price goes up. keep up the good work deloach.
thanks capt. rob

The book is good and nice to have. However, there was not much change for the older edition.

The book gives the location to several of Florida's hidden springs and offshore reefs, wrecks. There is also a dvd on the Florida springs available from amazon, called "Florida Springs-The Unexplored Florida." It lets you see the springs underwater. A must have book.

I just started looking through this. It appears to be a good resource. A lot of the same information could be found elsewhere. I would have liked a little more detail on the specific dive sites. The author provides a few paragraphs on each. GPS info is included.

I'm a little turned off by all the advertisements; there are more than one of those highly biased dive magazines. I thought I was buying an unbiased book, but I'm not sure that's the case.

This book is exactly what We were looking for and then some. Great price.Bought two so shipping was free, can't get any better than that.

This has a ton of places to dive in Florida with tips on each. A few too many ads in the book, but kinda helpfil if you need to find a dive shop.

This book contains a plethora of information on Florida diving including springs, rivers, shore dives, and off-shore. There is a preface to each section describing local laws and regulations along with an overview of the diving. This is followed by brief descriptions of the dive sites along with contact info when applicable. The sections are organized geographically.
Because there is so much information in this book, it would be most useful for the Florida resident rather than a once or twice a year visitor. More detailed information on specific sites can be easily found on the internet.

I bought this book because a friend suggested it become the first book in my collection after I learned to dive. It not only tells of all the local dive spots but gives complete directions and other very helpful information. The book is up to date and very complete, very easy to use and understand. If your new to the sport or old and just need to know some great year round dive spots, then you cannot do without this book.
