5.0 out of 5 stars Very well presented book covering a wide range of dives sites, 9 Nov 2009
By 
A. Adams (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ultimate Diving Adventures: 100 Extraordinary Experiences Under Water (Paperback)
The book covers the best dives sites around the world, with well written sections that describe each dive in a good level of detail. Having dived several of the sites, the photos and narrative capture the essence of each dive beautifully for both the experienced diver and non-diver. The tips on how to get to each dive site, along with a summary of the visibility, currents and depths really bring each dive to life.

Stunning pictures and inspiring writing from two very experienced divers make this a lovely book, and a good one for the coffee table!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written, fabulous photos and useful info, 2 Nov 2009
By 
K. Meager (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ultimate Diving Adventures: 100 Extraordinary Experiences Under Water (Paperback)
This book has a lovely balance of stunning photos, practical information and it is written with heart. For the dives I wouldn't actually do (ie they are too cold!) I still got a real sense of the experience. This was written by people who love what they do.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor quality..., 25 May 2010
This review is from: Ultimate Diving Adventures: 100 Extraordinary Experiences Under Water (Paperback)
This book was made in a few days. That is the only way to explain:

1. Half the photos are out of focus
Look at page 3, p.5, p.17, p.47, p.51, p.67, etc.

2. The text is unedited and full of errors.
A headline reads: "Hervey Bay is located in south-eastern Queensland, particularly between May and August" (p.168)

3. The information quality about the dive sites is really poor.
I have been to many of the sites in the book. So I know that Similan in Thailand is only open half of the year. You might want to put that in a dive guide. And how can the water in Lofoten have "good visibility" and "dark and menacing with low visibility" at the same time (p.178)

There are plenty of much better alternatives to this book on the market!
