This review is from: Lonely Planet Diving & Snorkeling Florida Keys (Lonely Planet) (Paperback)

This is a great book, and I take it along every time I go diving in the Keys (about once or twice a month). All of the popular dive sites are featured in this book, and there are a lot of pictures that truly represent the diving in the area. I have found the information to be highly accurate when describing the sites, though somewhat vague at times. This book is small in size, so I can even zip it up inside my log book so it stay dry.

This guide is helpful, but could be more informative. We will be diving from our own boat, and could use more information about the dives themselves, rather than the history of the site or wreck. The guide should also have GPS coordinates, description of the moorings, etc.
