This truly comparative guide includes over 400 popular sites, all of which have been dived, reviewed and photographed by experienced husband-and-wife team, Beth and Shaun Tierney. From the pristine, isolated reefs of Indonesia’s Spice Islands to the lively marine and land environments in The Philippines’ Puerto Galera, there’s something for everyone. The guide also features personal opinions and anecdotes from both experts and other divers, as well as recommendations of what to do and see on dry land.

This review is from: Diving Southeast Asia: A guide to Asia's tropical seas (Footprint - Activity Guides) (Paperback) Great book, lots of colorful pictures, and a good general breifing of local dive sites and conditions. However the authors could have done a much better job when it comes to giving recommendations on accomadation, and describing the practical info and costs of the areas. There rating system considers budget accomadation under $75 dollars a night. They also do not describe how much it costs per dive, or provide the info on how to get from one area to another. Long term travellers like myself will enjoy this book, but will definately need a second reference for planning a budget trip! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: By Reliable (Reno, NV) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Diving Southeast Asia: A guide to Asia's tropical seas (Footprint - Activity Guides) (Paperback) The authors have done their homework to write this dive book. I love diving Indonesia and rate it #1 in the world, as do they. Great for topside as well as underwater sites to explore. Very complete dive book. Buy Diving the World, too, by the same authors. You won't be disappointed. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Diving Southeast Asia: A guide to Asia's tropical seas (Footprint - Activity Guides) (Paperback) My wife bought me this for a Valentine present. It is one of the best gifts I have received in a long time. Great information through the authors eyes. If you are a SE Asia diver this book is a must have, before you plan your dives through the area. |
