This book is written specifically for recreational scuba divers, snorkellers and amateur underwater photographers as well as those with a general interest in the beauty and wonders of the undersea world. Using non-technical language it provides a wealth of information for those considering or planning a trip to some of the best tropical diving and snorkelling locations across the world. Each of the four books in the series can be read as a stand-alone introduction to a particular region or as part of a collection covering the Atlantic and Caribbean, the Red Sea and western Indian Ocean, the Maldives, and the Pacific Ocean. The four books provide detailed descriptions and diver assessments of more than 400 dive sites worldwide; information on depth, duration, air consumption and weighting for each dive; explanations on how to identify the fish and other types of marine creatutes you may encounter on your diving and snorkelling adventures; as well as information on the characteristics and behaviour of more than 400 different examples of undersea life. The books are illustrated with over 600 full colour photographs of fish and other marine creatures.
