5.0 out of 5 stars Diving Bali : The Underwater Jewel of Southeast Asia (Peripl, April 11, 2000
By Christopher Neill (Pohnpei Micronesia) - See all my reviews
I received my copy of Diving Bali : The Underwater Jewel of Southeast Asia (Periplus Action Guides)yesterday, and lost a good night's sleep reading it. My only regret in buying this book is that I didn't get it before going diving in Bali last summer. The pictures are outstanding and the maps are of a very high quality. I think I'll be cancelling my diving trip to the Philippines in July and returning to Bali instead!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best dive guide ever, October 27, 2002
By Cary Gordon (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I know that this sounds like hyperbole, but this book is so far above and beyond any other dive guide I have used that I cannot resist. The maps are works of art and acurate, to boot.

After reading this book, my dives at the Liberty, the Tulamben drop off and Batu Kelebit seemed like visits with old friends.

As a terrific bonus, you can even dive these sites with Wally Siagian (+62 363 41869, persistantly) as I did.
