Having bought and loved the Tierney's Diving the World, the publication of this latest offering was anticipated with baited breath. In this book, Shaun and Beth have focused on every diver's dream destination . . . Southeast Asia. Once again, Shaun's photographs are vibrant and Beth's inimitable writing style fires your imagination and, if you close your eyes, you could almost be there. For me, one of the most endearing extras in this book are the images of local people and children which give you a real sense of the culture. As a diving guide, it's exceptional but there is much more to it than life underwater.
