2.0 out of 5 stars Heavy on Photos - Short on Information., 28 Aug 2004

By	Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

The first thing that struck me when a copy of this book arrived through my letterbox was how thin it was. This is a paper-back book measuring 9" x 6" (23cm x 15 cm) containing 92 pages. With 20 of those pages taken up with such information as; Title of the book (again), publisher's information, contents, acknowledgements, how to use the book, overview (history) of Cuba, geography, transportation, sightseeing, entertainment, index, etc, etc, there is precious little room left for the diving information - for which we purchased the book in the first place.

For much of the content we are then treated to one specific dive site per page each of which is headed with the following information; Typical depth range, Typical current condition, Expertise required, Access, Site No. After this we are treated to a short dialogue which, in many cases, fails to describe the site adequately and in some cases is exceedingly short. And the shorter the dialogue, the bigger the picture which takes up the rest of the page.

Of course the underwater pictures are all of typical Caribbean flora and fauna and the many species of available are almost all mentioned (somewhere!) in order to pad out the text.

In short, could have done much better!

3.0 out of 5 stars Beschreibung der einzelnen Tauchpl�tze in Kuba, 19 Sep 2000

By A Customer

Der Lonely Planet: Diving und Snorkeling Guide Cuba beschreibt die verschiedenen Tauchpl�tze auf Kuba recht ausf�hrlich und anschaulich, so da� sich der ge�bte Taucher schon vor Urlaubsbeginn "seine" Favoriten herauspicken kann. Etwas kurz sind die Beschreibungen der Anfahrtswege - doch eine Tauchschule zu finden kann ja nicht so schwer sein.
