This review is from: Diving & Snorkeling Guide to Bermuda (Lonely Planet Diving and Snorkeling Bermuda) (Paperback)

Bermuda is a beautiful destination and is well known for its diving and snorkeling locations. Diving & Snorkeling Bermuda does a great job of explaining those locations as well as giving you background information.

First, the book covers the basics. The weather in Bermuda, the money used, an overview of the towns, a list of the beaches. That way you're fairly grounded with what you'll do when you're not in the water.

Then we get into the meat of the book. There's a map, and a list of each location with beautiful photos. You learn about the access, the typical depth, the conditions, and what you'll find there. Everything you want to know for a fun dive!

There are two "native life" areas - one for friendlies and one for things to watch out for. Both are well worth studying! Again the photos are really a key feature here.

There's a list of wrecks, if you're into wreck diving - and it's fairly extensive! It's amazing how many boats have run aground out here.

Well worth it for any water enthusiast who is lucky enough to get out to Bermuda!
