Best dive guide for Micronesia,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Diving the Pacific: Volume 1: Micronesia and the Western Pacific Islands (Paperback)
I went back and bought 2 more for my travel companions! We just came back from Truk & Yap and I never saw my book, it was traveling around our group so much! We are planning to return to Palau, so I bought extra copies as self defense! The best dive guide I have found to the islands.

Excellent Book,
This review is from: Diving the Pacific: Volume 1: Micronesia and the Western Pacific Islands (Paperback)
One of the most informative books about diving in the Pacific , next to Tim Rocks lonely planet guides for diving and snorkelling in Micronesia this is the best , only this one accomodates all the islands in one book meanwhile lonely planet is done over three books .
I definately recommend it !

This review is from: Diving the Pacific: Volume 1: Micronesia and the Western Pacific Islands (Paperback)
Wasn't sure what to expect when ordering, but am very happy with the purchase. The maps are great! I have lived in Guam & find that the info in the book is very helpful. I'm still learning my way around the dive world here & now know where some of these places are that people are talking about. It has also helped plan our next dive trip to other islands. Great info on Palau, Chuuk, & Yap. So much to see & so little time!!!
