Editorial Reviews

Review

"This hefty but exhaustive guide pinpoints the best waves in Europe for some serious water time. With additional listings as well, this is all you need to take with you, apart from your board..." Wanderlust Magazine"

Product Description

The newest addition to Footprint's burgeoning series of activity guides, "Diving the World", takes the underwater adventurer on a magical tour of many of the world's top dives. Some 200 prime sites have been carefully selected, reviewed and photographed by experienced husband-and-wife team, Beth and Shaun Tierney. From the pristine reefs of Papua New Guinea to the warm waters of the Belize Barrier Reef and the legendary wrecks of Micronesia's Truk Lagoon, there's something for everyone. The guide also features personal opinions and anecdotes from both experts and other divers, as well as recommendations of what to do and see on dry land.

5.0 out of 5 stars Diving the world, June 28, 2006
By Andrew Perkins (Shropshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My wife Sue & I have been very lucky to dive some of the best diving locations in the world, all of which are featured in this excellent and very readable book. First of all the descriptions are spot on and you can tell that the text is taken from the experience of actually doing the dive or visiting the area, not just researching it (unlike so many guides). The book is not just a travel or dive guide, it's more like a wish list to the best diving in the world. If you are lucky enough to be able to do this sort of diving then I think owning this book is about as important as owning a mask.

Wow! Fabulous book, fabulous info, fabulous photos, just simply fabulous!
If you are a scuba diver, you need this book. It will inspire you to visit places you have seen only in travel magazines. This book is big and beefy, too. Not a typical travel book, this book gives pages and pages of good info and lush photos of ALL of the best diving destinations known.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide to the best diving destinations, September 5, 2006
By Scott George (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent guide for choosing a dive destination. My wife and I have had the good fortune to travel to a number of excellent dive locations in the past several years and this guide gets it right. Be forewarned, it makes no effort to be a comprehensive guide to the entire world (for that, try Dive by Monty Halls). But it does cover the most intriguing dive locations, so it is heavy on Asia and the South Pacific and light on the Caribbean and has no coverage of temperate destinations, such as California or British Columbia.

It is more than a dive guide. It does cover the primary dive sites for each location, but the real value of this book is it's recommendations on accommodations and other activities. It is perfect for choosing a vacation destination and to get your planning started.

4.0 out of 5 stars Focused on super luxury dive resorts.
Beautiful book with many places that look wonderful. However, if you are not wealthy, you probably cannot afford to stay at the five star places shown. Read more
