Simond has produced the Gold Standard for divers that seek the ultimate in diving with 5* Luxury on hand. For many of us divers with wives/husbands and children that don't dive there is something for everybody. As the book advertises Dive,Snorkel,Chill is what is available at all Simond's destinations (what about The Galapagos ?) and having visited some of them, his advice on climate,rooms and 'expecting to see' is spot on !
Put every destination on your wish list and you will not be disappointed.

Not only is this book a visual delight, it really gives you all the info you want to know. Dream hotels & locations, which are the ultimate places to go. The dive sights and hotels are the best in the world and apart from being full of fantastic photographs it gives you detailed information about dive sites, when to visit to see certain fish, weather etc. It also caters for members of your family who don't dive, with information about other activities. Perfect for honeymooners, people who are planning a spoiling holiday or just if you want a fab coffee table book full of gorgeous pictures. Makes you want to dive in!

This book has been comprehensivly researched over quite a long time, by someone who appears to be passionate about the sport. The Photograpy is really very good, bearing in mind anyone who has tried there hand at underwater photograthy will know just how difficult it is, the whole concept of combinig good hotels with quality dive sites can be very hit and miss, expensive mistakes can easily be made, this book is a must for all divers, i cannot recomened it more highly. clp

As a fairly recent convert to the world of diving I found this book excellent. It manages to combine both key information about the destinations and at the same time inspire me. At last I can look forward to not only a great place to dive but also a great place to spend time in when I am out of the water. The photography is incredible - I wish my photos from the Maldives looked half as good! I would recommend this book for both divers and non divers.

I bought this book because a reviewer had mentioned it was great for planning a luxury holiday or a once in a lifetime holiday such as a honeymoon. But honestly, if I would actually visit any of these places I'd go bankrupt. I think the cheapest hotel listed is £600 per night. Yes I like to indulge when on holiday but really, spending that kind of money is not possible for the average person, even for a honeymoon.
So whereas I will never stay in any of the hotels listed here, the book does provide a great source of ideas for diving destinations. For each country (19), a specific hotel and on-site dive centre is discussed in great detail (but no pricing info). There's also always a section on the diving in that area (locations, fish, visibility...) and the underwater photography is truly spectacular. And that's why I'm still giving the book 5 stars. Before deciding on a diving destination, I will always browse this book for ideas.
