5.0 out of 5 stars Found most of the sites I dived in this book!, August 5, 2008

By	Valentina "DiveGirl55" (Sunny California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lonely Planet Diving & Snorkeling Cozumel (Lonely Planet Diving and Snorkeling Guides) (Paperback)

I took this with me this past May to Cozumel, where I went diving. I was happy to be able to read and hi-light the pluses and minuses of the water conditions there. I always order these Lonely Planet books months BEFORE my trip, not only to see if it is really where I want to go, but also as my guide when I am there!

They contain, JUST ENOUGH INFORMATION, without overkill. Nice colorful photos, and the end section always makes you educated on the dangers in the ocean as well!

3.0 out of 5 stars great for divers but....., May 29, 2009

By	Stephen M. Bartholomew "plein air dude" (wild west) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Diving and Snorkeling Guide to Cozumel (Pisces Diving & Snorkeling Guides) (Paperback)

Good information for divers, but, any snorkeling information was an after thought at best. Island information and Cozumel travel tips were accurate.
