This review is from: Diving and Snorkeling Guide to Scotland: Includes Shetlands, Scapa Flow and Hebrides (Lonely Planet Diving & Snorkeling Great Barrier Reef) (Paperback)

There are great photos and the contents are divided up nicely: overview of scotland, diving in scotland, diving along the east coast, scapa flow, shetland islands, outer hebrides, NW coast, etc...and a chapter on scotish marine life. The appendices have valuable info on Dive Centers and Services as well as, Emergency Information. There is specific info on Depth and Visability, required diving experts, bottom terrain, currents, marine life, safety tips, local dive shops and charters, accommodations and transportation. The dive sites and difficulty ratings of the site are shown on convenient color maps. It's a nice guide for anyone considering diving in Scotland or for the diving enthusiast. The photos alone make this a nice addition to any collection of diving material.
