4.0 out of 5 stars
Definately not meant for a backpacker.............,

This review is from: Diving Southeast Asia: A guide to Asia's tropical seas (Footprint - Activity Guides) (Paperback)
Great book, lots of colorful pictures, and a good general breifing of local dive sites and conditions. However the authors could have done a much better job when it comes to giving recommendations on accomadation, and describing the practical info and costs of the areas. There rating system considers budget accomadation under $75 dollars a night. They also do not describe how much it costs per dive, or provide the info on how to get from one area to another. Long term travellers like myself will enjoy this book, but will definately need a second reference for planning a budget trip!

This review is from: Diving Southeast Asia: A guide to Asia's tropical seas (Footprint - Activity Guides) (Paperback)
The authors have done their homework to write this dive book. I love diving Indonesia and rate it #1 in the world, as do they. Great for topside as well as underwater sites to explore. Very complete dive book. Buy Diving the World, too, by the same authors. You won't be disappointed.

My wife bought me this for a Valentine present. It is one of the best gifts I have received in a long time. Great information through the authors eyes. If you are a SE Asia diver this book is a must have, before you plan your dives through the area.
