Honduras And Belize: White Star Guides Diving (White Star Guides) 1 review Roberto Rinaldi
White Star, 2005
not so happy with the book
This book had too little information about what I needed. I'm taking a trip to Roatan, Honduras this year and wanted to get some information to prepare me. There was only 9 pages about the place I was going to, so I returned it.

The Great Barrier Reef Dive Guide (Abbeville Diving Guide) 3 reviews
Abbeville Press, 1999
A valuable book on GBR dive sites
+ On target for divers planning a trip to this area.
The book contains lots of photos and description of different dive sites around the great barrier reef. However I believe it would be impossible to expect to the book to include all dive sites. Net-net this is a book I enjoy reading it again and again.
