5.0 out of 5 stars Essential resource, May 3, 2001

By	Graham Corneck "usrmartha1" (Norwalk, CT USA) - See all my reviews

If you're planning a bareboat charter in the British Virgin Islands and would like to head off to dive sites on your own then this is the book you need. The book contains dive site locations, mooring locations, skill requirements, weather considerations, site layouts, suggested underwater routes, and dive descriptions. We arrived in the Virgin Islands with a bag of dive books and this is the one that we used over and over again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best available dive guide to the BVI, IMO., May 30, 1998

By	JDiver "You haven't lived until you've dived." (Roseville, CA USA) - See all my reviews

We're divers who have visited BVI several times, and we think Jim Scheiner's bok is the best guide available for diving the islands. - Jim and his wife Odile are accomplished videographers and photographers with a shop at Baskin in the Sun's location in the Prospect Reef resort in Tortola, and they have extensive knowledge of the area- they're passing some of this knowledge on to visiting divers. - My only wish is they'd expand the book in its next edition, as there are so many interesting BVI dives sites!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you're diving the BVI This is the book to have!, August 27, 2001

By	Peter A. Mcgovern (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Jim and Odile Scheiner have been photographing and diving the BVI since long before any Bush's were in the white house. Their diving expertise and professionaly crafted photgraphs will guide you to some of the best diving in this area. Don't travel to the BVI without this book if you're planning any diving! It's that good.
