I bought this book a long time ago, and while I still find it occasionally useful, I must also add it is quite superficial - granted, several Indo-Pacific species are illustrated, but the accompanying texts are minimal, severely outdated or simply non-existent. Most images are also quite disappointing. To put it simply, it has been superseded by several more recent titles devoted to the same area. Divers, underwater photographers and reef aquarium keepers should consider instead the more recent, complete, updated and infinitely better illustrated Reef Fish Identification Tropical Pacific by the same author, A Diver's Guide to Reef Life by Andrea and Antonella Ferrari and A Divers Guide to Underwater Malaysia Macrolife by Andrea and Antonella Ferrari - the latter, despite its misleading title, representing in my opinion the final word on Indo-Pacific critters.

This is not really a field guide. Rather, it's a general introduction to the various animals and plants found around coral reefs, plus colour photos (many quite small) of a representative sample. There are no species presentations, no keys. Frankly, the title of this book is deceptive!

This book is trully all the recreational diver will ever need to ID all reef fish, inverts and corals. It is also useful to people doing surveys, especially students and people working on basic transects. The photography and descriptions are excellent and comprehensive for all but the Carribean. Buy it. I have.
