4.0 out of 5 stars A worthy addition to this series of guides., 13 Sep 2004
By Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
The New Holland series of dive guides have a well-established format and on this occasion Lawson and Lesley Wood have used that format to good effect. As the author of the Maltese Islands Diving Guide (the very first diving guide to Malta), I was unsure as to whether I should review this title or not - but having been sent a complimentary copy, it would have been churlish to ignore the book altogether.

Lawson Wood enjoys a much deserved fine reputation as an underwater photo-journalist and author and with the aid of his wife has produced yet another excellent product.

After the customary "How to use this book" (and explanation of the abbreviations and symbols used throughout), we have an introduction to the country which includes information on most topics the visitor wants to know followed by an equally informative introduction to the diving one can expect to find.

Then we get down to specifics. The next chapter details no fewer than 38 dive sites found around the coast of Malta. This is followed by chapters on Comino (13 dive sites) and Gozo (30 dive sites) giving a total of 81 sites altogether. The information on each site is brief and to the point with as many as 4 complete dive sites appearing on a single page.

Each of these chapters in interrupted with green pages on different subjects. These are a complete change of topic in the middle of whatever you were reading. These "breaks" include subjects like the Seahorse, the Hermit Crab, WW2 Wrecks, the Great White Shark and contain detailed information you might not necessarily bother to learn from elsewhere..

Finishing off with section on the marine environment, underwater photography & video and health and safety, it would seem that just about all the information the visiting diver needs to consider before and during a trip to the Maltese Islands is here and, when compared to other books which have recently appeared this is a good option.

4.0 out of 5 stars I can't wait to get into the water, 5 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Since most of the diving books available though Amazon have no real synopsis, its a bit of a gamble buying sight-unseen. However in the case of this book, its worth the risk

I learnt to dive in Gozo and booked to go back later this year and needed something to whet my apetite - to reassure me that the Med wouldn't necessarily be too boring. After reading this with its detailed listings and gradings of the main dive sites of the Maltese Islands I feel confident of a great holiday

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful for planning a Maltese diving holiday, 9 Nov 2000
By A Customer
I have used my copy several times now and have added the bearings from dive entry points to the wrecks. I wouldn't go to Malta to dive without it. I have generally found the detail to be correct and the photographs are good too.
