A great book that helps identify many of the reefs fishes.

This is a great little book that I use to identify many of the fish I see in the Red Sea.
Admittedly this book does not cover all species of fish that are present on the reefs, but it’s close.
I’m an underwater videographer for stock sites and this book helps me identify the fish species and allows me to provide accurate descriptions for the stock sites I use.
A great book.

I already knew this book, that’s why I was looking for it. It is full of beautiful photos and interesting things. Since it is quite expensive I have been glad to have founded It used in a very good condition.

The 'go to' reference for fish identification. Very detailed and great photos. I'd recommend this over any other book. They are expensive but such great quality.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 June 2014

You only have to open thie book to see it is not up to par because a) the map of the Red sea on the iinside cover is shown on an east/west axis and hould be on a north/soush axis b)the type is at leasrt 2 points too small and c)the use o0f colour blocks on the table of contents make it vi8rtually unreadable.
9 groups of fish and animals and for veach is given photograph, common and scientific names,length, distribution,depth found and general remarks.
With some cthought this could have been a first class book.

Good book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 November 2007

Before going to the Red sea, I read good reviews on this book, and so bought it. I found it extremly useful. I was going to the Red sea for the first time, and I can't think of any fish that I saw and was not shown in the book. The down side is the index at the end.Say you want to look for a Grouper, and you are not sure of it's type, then ideally the index should be listed as
Grouper, marbled.
Grouper, peacock
Grouper, Potato etc .
However in the book it is listed with all the first adjectives of the fish name, which makes it difficult to use the index.
Also it is difficult to know why the fish groups are sequenced in the particular way. Unless you are a Marine Biology student, all the scientific approach of listing doesn't help.
I would have rather listed the fish as 'Mainly Red' 'Yellow' , 'mainly yellow' etc which would make it easier to use!
The info about the formation of the red sea is very useful, given at the begining of the book.
Since it was my 1st trip, I was too usy watching the fish, and so I havent really studied the corals! I therefore dont know if its the best book to see corals in the red sea.
The book devotes many pages to molluscs and nudibranch which are not really seen that often.
All in all I think it is a very good purchase. I must also add that all my instructors too were using the same book for their own refernce.

Definitive Guide to Red Sea Underwater Life

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 July 2002

If you're only going to buy one fish guide to the Red Sea, bite the bullet and buy this one. On every Red Sea dive boat I've been on this is the book that everybody makes a beeline for after the dive! First class pictures, not just of fish but coral, invertebrates and all. And a dozen or so "picture stories" on topics relating to the area. A must if you relly want to know what you're looking at down there.
