A true priceless piece of work on the wrecks of the ABC Islands,

This review is from: Dreamwrecks of the World: The Best Shipwrecks of Aruba, Bonaire & Curaçao (Paperback)
This is an outstanding piece of work that is seldom found today. The research on the wrecks was excellent and for someone who like wreck diving the intrigue is in the story behind them. Even more impressive is the artistry and photography. I have yet to find a book on diving that includes all three like this.
I have been fortunate to have dove with Dominique and his passion for wreck diving and the sea shows through in this book. I have also dove the Windjammer and the Hilma Hooker in Bonaire. I was fortunate to have found a copy. It is a real treasure.
