Many years ago I bought the first edition of this book for the Australian National University Scuba Club. It has survived many, many trips to the Great Barrier Reef on club trips, where it has served as our primary reference for fish identification. The photographs are excellent, and the inclusion of the juvenile forms of many fish is a great asset. Now rebound after years of exacting use by hundreds of keen divers, stormy trips on the high seas, and trans-shipment in small boats to our destination island, the club is still taking its copy of this book along on its annual two week long GBR trips. So, with a history of use such as that, I was excited to find that there was a new edition with additional material! I had to get this for myself, and quite simply - it's got everything that made it such a great book before, plus now there is more. Well done! I recommend this book (and edition) highly to all of my scuba students, and can also do so here.

This is one of the best fish ID books for Pacific fishes. Wonderful pictures and information about families as well as species.

The book is really good if you need a short overview of the fishes in the great barrier reef and coral sea. Every group is explained by a short text and most of the fishes are shown by picture. So it's perfect if you want to dive in the region and identify the fishes you'll see.

Bought this as a gift for someone who is an avid scuba diver. He has commented a few times that it is a really great book.

This book is great for identifying just about every fish you will find in the Pacific, from Australia to the US, and all the Pacific Islands in between. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately the pending book did not arrived,
When I complained after the promised lead time the Amazon offered me that they send me the book again - it is missed somewhere - without shipping cost, it was correct,
But after a few days I changed my idea - the reason of the long lead time - and I cancelled my order, and the Amazon payed me back the full price of the book!
This is a correct company but the process is not working well!
You could try , you do not have any risk !!!
