Diving and Snorkeling Guide to the Bahamas Family Islands and Grand Bahama

Rating:
Summary: May be mediocre for divers, but useless for snorkelers
Review: We purchased this book in preparation for a family snorkeling trip to the Bahamas Out Islands. We don't scuba dive, so we were specifically looking for snorkeling information. Since this book includes "Snorkeling" in its title, we assumed there would be some specific snorkeling info included.

We were very disappointed as the entire book is devoted to dive-sites. Including "snorkeling" in the book title is, we feel, false advertising. I'm not sure the word snorkeling is ever used any where inside the book aside from the title page.

Even for dive information, the book falls short. For instance, there are no maps or directions to indicate approximately where the dive sites are located or how to get to them.

I would not recommend this book. There must be other more informative, more comprehensive books on the subject. I wish I had remembered to return the book to Amazon.com within the alloted time period. For our purposes, it was a waste of money.
