Top Ten Dives in the World?

 

How are the votes counted?
The first criteria is number of votes (weighted to favour the first choice dive site above the second). Where two dives tie for a position, priority is given to those with the most enticing descriptions and those whose area has several votes for different dives.

122 of 124 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not excellent, 15 Dec 2003 As many other Scuba diver in the northern hemisphere, my dream dive vacation is somewhere with corals, warm water and tropical fish. Usually, books that claim to list the best dive sites or dive vacations in the world list places with all those treats I want and only places like that. Sites such as the northern Atlantic coast of USA, Scapa Flow in Scotland and the Mediterranean sea are excluded. These books are usually nothing more than hundreds of pictures and little if any fact about the dive sites.

Dive Atlas of the World: An Illustrated Reference to the Best Sites does not fall in that trap, it actually lists several non-tropical dive sites and does a decent job at describing what kind of diving one can expect in as diverse sites as Malta, Maldives and Manado.

The pictures are excellent, but only serve as illustrations to the text. What I would have wanted to see more of was practicalities on travelling to the described sites. This information is now nested away in the back of the book. What I did like was the information on coral reef ecology, on oceanography and other topics all divers should be aware of.

Overall, I would strongly recommend this book to divers who travel, plan to travel or just wish to dream about travelling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas present gratefully recieved, 27 Dec 2010 This review is from: Dive Atlas of the World: An Illustrated Reference to the Best Sites (Hardcover) Great coffee table book full of both information and fantastic pictures of dive sites around the world. I purchased this book for my partner who is a keen diver and it was great for other members of the family and our friends to see and read information about some of the dive sites he has been to. It has also got lots of great ideas about where to visit next, I think he might use it as a list to tick off as he achieves each one!!!
Lovely pictures and will provide hours of entertaining reading. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?
