The photographs are excellent, sharing the Bahamian lifestyle with the viewer. For those that do in-depth research prior to their travels, this is informative covering history and major sites. Highly recommend for the interesting coverage of sites. The Bahamas boast some of the world's most beautiful beaches, and Frommer's covers them in detail. Also included is Turks and Caicos, a terrific destination for diving.
Entries contain information on size, depth, range, habitat, behavior, and reaction to divers.
This second edition includes 124 new fish species and 325 additional color plates, and incorporates fish species found in marine habitats neighboring the reef, such as coral caves and sand flats, and temperate water species from central and northeast Florida. The waterproof covers and comb binding make it convenient on location. Clear photos and easy indexing makes for enjoyable viewing and reading pleasure. The color photographs are beautiful and make identification easy. Although this small book is nowhere near as comprehensive as Humann's complete reef identification set, it's a great bargain for those wanting to know the names of most of the common things they see when snorkeling in the Caribbean.
