5.0 out of 5 stars Found most of the sites I dived in this book!, August 5, 2008

This review is from: Lonely Planet Diving & Snorkeling Cozumel (Lonely Planet Diving and Snorkeling Guides) (Paperback)

I took this with me this past May to Cozumel, where I went diving. I was happy to be able to read and hi-light the pluses and minuses of the water conditions there. I always order these Lonely Planet books months BEFORE my trip, not only to see if it is really where I want to go, but also as my guide when I am there!

They contain, JUST ENOUGH INFORMATION, without overkill. Nice colorful photos, and the end section always makes you educated on the dangers in the ocean as well!

Good information for divers, but, any snorkeling information was an after thought at best. Island information and Cozumel travel tips were accurate.
