Product Description

Both experienced divers and beginners will delight in this colorful guide to the underwater paradise of Honduras and Belize, one of the few books to offer in-depth coverage of this remarkable corner of the Caribbean Sea. With over 400 nautical miles of sea and 800 miles of coastline, the neighboring countries of Honduras and Belize are linked by the second largest coral reef in the world. The reef has reached an extraordinary level of development, and the thousands of cays supply divers with sensational encounters and lively sea floors. This guide, complete with practical information, spectacular images, and full color three-dimensional maps, supplies divers with all they need to make the most of their trip.

Whether a diver likes exploring sunken shipwrecks or colorful thick coral masses, swimming with dolphins or sharks, or admiring unusual fish and plants, this guidebook has tours for all tastes, and covers 32 of the most exciting dive sites. Easy-to-follow maps and descriptions of each site guide the diver in discovering its treasures, while information on what to see at certain times of the day or night helps with the overall planning of tours. Beautifully illustrated cognitive species cards of 106 fish and plants round out this thoroughly engaging guidebook.

Customer Reviews

not so happy with the book
This book had too little information about what I needed. I'm taking a trip to Roatan, Honduras this year and wanted to get some information to prepare me. There was only 9 pages about the place I was going to, so I returned it.
