Product Description
The earth’s oceans hold many wondrous surprises—be they the small, colorful “critters” off the coast of Papua New Guinea, opportunistic red demon squids in the Sea of Cortes, or naval wrecks in the lagoon of Bikini Atoll. In Fifty Places to Dive Before You Die Chris Santella has invited diving experts from around the world to share some of their favorite destinations, so ardent divers can experience these underwater wonders for themselves—either on location in their SCUBA gear, or at home in their armchair. The fifth in Santella’s bestselling “Fifty Places” series, the book takes divers from hot-spot destinations like Raja Ampat (off the coast of West Guinea) to old Caribbean favorites like Grand Cayman Isles. Readers will swim among whale sharks off Myanmar, befriend wolf eels off the coast of Maine, and marvel at the giant mola mola of Lembognan, Indonesia. These wonderful creatures—plus the brilliant coral reefs that often provide their backdrop—are captured in 40 gorgeous color photos from the world’s greatest underwater photographers. And for readers who want to travel to these breathtaking locales, Santella provides complete “If You Go” suggestions to help you plan your trip.

 A Fun Read January 7, 2009

 Nice, but incomplete January 6, 2009

I am an advanced Diver for more than 15 years with over 200 dives.
So I thought this book would give me a list, to put on my check marks, where I already have been, and where to go. But I was very surprised to find not a single destination in the area of the red sea. I dove many places in Egypt and I can asure you, If you dove the 50 places of this book, but never the red sea, you will be very sorry. May be the book should be named: 50 convenient places for US citizens to dive before you die. Because there is no Cuban dive site ether.
The whole book does not contain a lot of specific or insider information, you could not find elswhere nor some impressive photos.
Regards Jo
Nothing of substance here... January 2, 2009

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. We're avid divers, and I thought it would a book that would inspire us to travel to different places to dive. I found nothing of substance here- not a lot of detail about either the places or pictures that would inspire someone to travel to these places. Save your money...
