Diving in the Philippines, Details!

This book is wonderful. It educates the diver with degree of skill, pros and cons of each site, photos as applicable, and maps. It's a well rounded, informative guide and I recommend it. The maps are not as they could be, but thats why you go out with a group and dive master.

Nice concise guide

This book was well laid out and an easy and interesting read. It covers all the main diving areas throughout the Philippines. It gives a brief description of the terrain, difficulty, what you will see and the general conditions you will experience on diving to each location. It also gives tips on traveling to each location, though this could be a little more thorough, due to the difficulty of getting to each site. This book is great if you are planning a dive trip and have no idea which areas to head to. It allowed me to pick certain areas and islands to research further on the internet. It will be a great resource to take to each dive shop when deciding which dives to participate in.

Lacks map of fish.

Very good and contains a lot af info. Lacks a map of fish. It would be nice to have pictures of the fish you are going to see.
