This review is from: Reef Watchers Hawaii: Reef Fish and Critter I.D. : Snorkel Skills & Professional Tips (Paperback)

The plus side: This book is what it says it is. An adequate guide to identifying the water creatures you'll see in the water near Hawaii. It has very broad coverage for the size, and packs a lot of information. On the negative side, the book is very small-format, which means it is convenient to take on the boat or in a fanny pack. But it could be improved by making the page and binding more waterproof--It won't last long on a boat. And the small format means that it is unsatisfactory for casual reading at home before or after a trip--The photographs are postage stamp-sized, and the descriptive text is VERY brief. Finally, the book has dual Japanese and English texts. This shouldn't bother me, but for some reason it does. If nothing else, it vividly illustrates how many Japanese tourists there are in Hawaii!
