Best Pub Co, 1996

A good tool
I bought this book a few weeks before I went on my first live-aboard trip, and what a tremendous help. The book reminded me of all the little details I would have forgotten otherwise. I actually physically used the checklists provided! Lots of good tips on where to go, choosing a live-aboard, tipping, meals and tons more.

A Fresh, New World
In researching my third novel, Death by Dolphin, I relied heavily on the photography and text of this excellent volume. Although I have visited Hawai'i several times, my skills do not include scuba, nor even if I had it could I have found the visual images which fill this book. I give it high recommendation to anyone who desires to both see and understand the variety of life which thrives in ...

Blue Kirio, 1996

Good quick reference
This small pocket guide provides a nice basis for beginning fish ID or a handy guide easy to carry in your scuba gear bag. It's small size, which makes it easily transportable and a nice quick reference also makes it necessarily somewhat limited in scope.

Hawaiian Reef Critters
Astrid Witte, Casey Mahaney

Island Heritage, 1998

Hawaiian Reef Critters is the definitive guide to underwater creatures of the Hawaiian Islands. It is concise, easy to use and fun to read. Beautiful photography clearly illustrates each species of interest, and the description tells the reader exactly what it is and where to find it. This is a most valuable book for anyone interested in knowing more about Hawaii's underwater paradise.

Booklines Hawaii Ltd, 1996

Useful, but could be better
The plus side: This book is what it says it is. An adequate guide to identifying the water creatures you'll see in the water near Hawaii. It has very broad coverage for the size, and packs a lot of information. On the negative side, the book is very small-format, which means it is convenient to take on the boat or in a fanny pack. But it could be improved by making the page and binding more ...

Maldives-A diving Mecca
If you are planning a SCUBA diving trip to the Maldives I would recommend this book for some useful information and eye candy in preparing an amazing underwater experience. I also recommend it because the photographs have been taken since the El Nino damage to the reefs so they portray a realistic view of what you will encounter. While the reef damage is unfortunate and visible, the Maldives are ...
