This global guide to the world's top dive sites is an inspirational reference source for divers who wish to experience, personally or vicariously, the best diving the planet has to offer. Written by award-winning and experienced dive authors, coverage starts with the Atlantic, from the West Coast of North America, and proceeds west to east and north to south. For those inspired to travel to any of the featured sites or regions, the appendix lists all important travel and dive information, the best times to go, contacts, dive operators, and emergency facilities.
Brimming with superb underwater photography of famous wrecks, a wide range of marine habitats, and a huge diversity of species ranging from whale sharks to nudibranchs, DIVE ATLAS OF THE WORLD also features six large scale ocean/sea maps, and over three hundred comprehensive maps to all the best sites.

Summary: Fabulous Pictures!
Comment: This was purchased as a gift for my husband. It was delivered in a very timely manner (the day before I needed it, which was fabulous!!) I haven't really spent much time reading it, but the pictures are amazing!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Super maps, but....
Comment: Definitely not enough coverage of the Caribbean and Atlantic sites. This book should be named the Pacific and Indian Ocean Dive Atlas. It is a quality written book however that covers the included sites thoroughly. Would recommend it but not for Caribbean reference!

Summary: Comprehensive Dive Atlas
Comment: This is a really big coffee table size book that is stocked with information about dive sites throughout the world, Some parts of the world (Asia) are given more space than others (Carribbean), but overall, it touches all the bases. I like the way it took individual divesites and broke down the dives with temps, currents, difficultly status, and photos. The maps of the areas profiled is worth the price of the book alone (which is reasonably priced.) If you get one book to get an overview of what's out there, this is agood place to start.

Summary: Nicely illustrated overview of dive sites of the world
Comment: Coffee table book. Nicely illustrated and informative listing and overview of dive sites of the world. Lots of vacation ideas, including some I wasn't aware of before.
Good motivation for new divers as well.
Then, once you're inspired to take your next dive vacation, consult one of the travel guides:
Aqua Quest Diving series
Globetrotter Dive guides
Lonely Planet Pisces Diving & Snorkeling Guides
Periplus Action Guides (Asia/Pacific)
