 Facts & information about anchorages, diving & fishing September 1, 2003

Wicklund's book is most helpful to the boater or diver who wishes to locate the best diving spots and/or identify appropriate anchorages around the island of Catalina. This is a book of facts. While there is some information of historical interest, the reader who will benefit most is the one who wants to know what the bottom is like (which anchor should I use?) and where to go for what kind of fish, where to look for lobster, etc. Very helpful for those of us who do those type of things. This is not a general book about Catalina for 'hotel stayers' and the average tourist.
 No detail on Dive sites, Buy a map instead. August 30, 2002
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
... Many of the sites get just 6 to 10 words of descritption, NONE of the sites have "detailed" descriptions. There is no dive info in this book thats not included in the symbols on my boater's map. There are no GPS coordinates for the shipwrecks listed, and I've found some of the other coordinates are way off. ... (fish cooking and cleaning info was helpful to me)
 Not very informative, GPS coordinates WAY OFF! August 30, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Book lists info and approx location for 35 shipwrecks, but only gives GPS coordinates for 2 (TWO) of them!!! Of the 9 dive spots I've entered in my computer map (Magellan Mapsend), 4 were off by over a quarter mile (Lava Wall Beach, Seal Point, etc). One dive spot is 600 yards inland. I mean, if the book was free, that would be one thing. But I paid good money for it and now I realize there is no reason to enter any of the coordinates, because there is no way to tell which ones are even close. I just now stopped entering in my GPS program and went to Amazon to write this review. The author should be embarrassed.
 Essential reading for anyone planning a dive or boating trip August 14, 2002

This book is a must have for anyone planning to enjoy the pristine waters of Catalina Island. As a harbor patrolman I'm sure he's heard and seen it all. He has all the essential information for a dive or boating trip without bogging you down with opinions on restaurants and hotels that I won't be using. If you want a guide for clubbing and eating this is the wrong book for you. If you want to get insider knowledge on where to go for a great time in the water than this is the right book.

I was planning a dive trip to Catalina and bought this book and then another one by Joe Belanger, called Catalina Island, All You Need To Know. All you need to know is way better and more informative, and has color pictures of the marine life. Save your money and just get All you need to know on a website. There is way too much hype on the Boating Catalina Book.
