5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative with beautiful photography, March 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Great Reefs of the World (Lonely Planet Diving & Snorkeling Great Barrier Reef) (Paperback)

This book does an excellent job of describing the marine life found in numerous diving locations throughout the world. Mr. Roessler is very informative and descriptive, as well as being very honest and objective about the pros and cons of dive travel to these locations. I will use this book in planning future dive trips since his description of places I have already dived was extremely consistent with my personal experience and observations. His photography is superb and my non-diving friends really enjoyed looking through the book as well. A 'must have' for divers and anyone who appreciates great photography!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely photography. Good coffee table book, July 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Great Reefs of the World (Lonely Planet Diving & Snorkeling Great Barrier Reef) (Paperback)

This is a book of beautiful photography, with interesting text to supplement it. There is nothing in the book about the Florida Keys, however the book makes a stellar "coffee table book". The photos and summaries are from divesites all over the world, including the Caribbean, California, Hawaii, Galapagos, Polynesia, Australia, Asia, the Red Sea, and many others.
