As much as I do like this book, you know, great photos, good descriptions of the dive sites themselves, etc, it seems a big missed opportunity. You would definately need the LP book for the Phillipines as this book DOES NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT DIVING COMPANIES OR ACCOMODATION, so I'm going to buy the Phillipines book, and I probably wont take this one away with me as it is a book I wont really need, and I dont want to be constantly referencing between 2 LP books.
And the descriptions are a bit like just reading someone's dive log, and not actually that descriptive, although it does get you in the mood for diving.
Next time I will pick it up in a bookstore and flick through before buying! Like I normally do!

Came at the Perfect Time!!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Hello everyone,
This book which is currently sitting on my desk is an absolute god send. I preordered it and it was published a month early. I am taking a month vacation to scuba dive in the Philippines and this is the perfect dive guide. There are very few books on scuba diving specfically in the Philipinnes and this book really goes into great detail about the dive sites and what to watch out for. I have reservations for diving in Malapascua and the author breaks down how to get there, the time it takes get there, and how not to get scammed. I would have never know to get to the boat dock before 2pm or I would have a hard time finding a boat over to Malapascua Island. You could tell the author had really been there. I'll report back after I dive the sites he recommeneds.
Excellent and much appreciated guide to diving in the Philipinnes!!!!
