3.0 out of 5 stars Scuba & Snorkeling in Belize, November 25, 2007

By	Megan E. Bell "shopper-aholic" (seattle, wa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has great information, but be aware that it doesn't even begin to cover 1/2 the Cayes in Belize. In fact it only mentioned one that we visited while sailing for 7 days. Use this guide as an accompaniment to other info.

4.0 out of 5 stars Usefull Book for Divemasters, April 12, 2009

By	Guide to Belize "www.guidetobelize.info" (Belize) - See all my reviews

With this book, you get a overview on the Belizean Dive Sites.
Because Belize has so many cayes and each of them has so many dive sites, its nearly impossible to cover them all. This Book is a nice try and worth to read it. The only way to know more about the dive sites in Belize, is just jump in to the water and dive.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not reallly about snorkeling.., October 11, 2008

By	Seattlite (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

The pictures are great.. but the book is not really about snorkeling. We went where the divemaster took us (Hol Chan, Shark Ray Alley, Mexican Hat) on our snorkeling trips and book didn't really add to the experience. I wish I'd had a picture book with some more information about the fish/corals/crustaceans and their behavior.
