Summary: Best Guide Book to Diving in Bali
Review: This guide is the most exhaustive book of Indonesian dive sites available. Its Bali site descriptions are even better than books that focus only on that island.Great reading; it's really fun and entertaining. Non-illustrated reef fish guide in the back is a bit useless, now that there are a couple of good field guides available. And the Cemuluk site map was slightly misleading, but no major problem to the intrepid. I have not nearly visited all the sites in the book, but I never got one "bum steer" from the information I took from it. It's got a wonderful travel practicalities section in the back. Hands down, the best available maps of snorkeling and diving sites. Shame it's out of print. Maybe they're just updating it, since new dive sites are being found every day in the archipelago. But it would be worth searching hard for a copy if you are a serious independant snorkeler or diver who is planning a trip to the region.
