5.0 out of 5 stars
A boat divers bible,
By A Customer
This review is from: Northwest Boat Dives: 60 Ultimate Dives in Puget Sound and Hood Canal (Paperback)
This book stays on the boat so we won't forget it. The GPS coordinates are a great idea and make the sites so easy to find. The author's input on how to dive each site safely has also been of great value. We have also appreciated the inclusion of some of the 'difficult to reach' shore dives and often frequent some of these sites that we used to avoid like the plague!

Positive but need's more,
By A Customer
This review is from: Northwest Boat Dives: 60 Ultimate Dives in Puget Sound and Hood Canal (Paperback)
I will give two pieces of advice to the author of 60 boat dives. 1. Don't tell me about shore dives in a book called boat dives and 2. There are a lot more than 60 dives in Puget sound. Diving for 5 years in the sound 500+ boat dives has told me that this book should be renamed and expanded to 202 boat dives in Puget sound then it might be worth the price tag.But it is a good start. With a lot of good information in a reasonabley easy to read format.
