Lonely Planet Diving & Snorkeling Turks & Caicos
I purchased this book after having vacationed in the Turks and Caicos Islands for 10 days, and dived 16 of the dive sites mentioned in the book...some of them twice. The descriptions are very precise, as I was able to compare the authors comments with my own that I recorded in my dive log. It's not the first and only Lonely Planet Diving and Snorkeling Guide that I own, nor will it be the last.
