Synopsis

With 2170 kilometres of coastline fronting on the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea, Thailand has one of the richest marine faunas in the world. Its tropical climate ensures year-round diving pleasure in pristine waters and varied underwater terrain that host a diversity of marine life, from brilliant coloured coral polyps to graceful featherstars and a wide variety of reef fish, shark, marlin, sailfish, and barracuda. In a unique compilation of facts and photographs, writer Collin Piprell and photographer Ashley J Boyd take an enticing look at some of Thailand's best dive sites - along with expert advice on travel, preparation, and facilities. Whether it is scuba diving, wreck diving or live-aboard cruises to premier destinations such as the Similans, the Surins, or the fabled Burma Banks, 'Diving in Thailand' opens up an exciting vista of undersea life and diving spots that are among the best in the world.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is how a diving guide should appear., 29 Aug 2004

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

This review is from: Diving in Thailand (Paperback)

The minute I saw this book I thought to myself "well at least it looks like a reasonable guide" and, for once, I was not disappointed. The book measures 9" x 6" (23cm x 15 cm) and contains over 200 pages packed with information which includes all the information a visiting diver wants to know.

Geographically, Thailand's coastline comprises southern Thailand, both the east and west coasts of part of the Malay Peninsular and the offshore islands on either side of that peninsular. The book commences with an Introduction followed by details on; Weather conditions, diving regulations, marine life, conservation, some basic tips about photography and how to use the book itself, the guide is then skilfully divided into easy to follow geographical locations which cover every Thai destination you could possibly visit.

Throughout the book, the 84 separate dive sites are interspersed with a good selection of maps and charts to help you on your way set out in the way a diving guide should appear. The photography by Ashley J. Boyd is quite outstanding - although the author does not allow this to take over his book at the expense of written detail.

My only criticism is that 5 pages were wasted by including those tips on underwater photography - which, in itself, is a subject for another complete book. My cameras are different from your cameras and together they are all very different from the cameras used by other people. Basic tips, therefore, quite often do not apply. Nevertheless, this is a first class guide.
