You can even do the confined and classroom work at home prior to your trip and save your precious vacation time for the open water dives. Each dive site was personally experienced by the authors who give a detailed description of the marine life you can expect to see on each particular site. If you want to see a particular type of critter then take a look in the back of the book at the Index which lists the most likely places for sightings. The majority of dive sites are documented and a brief description is provided detailing the type of dive, terrain and profile of the site. The maps and accompanying descriptions are very informative although depths indicated and dive routes should be used as a guide only, as conditions at the dive sites may change.
Sidebars are forever present throughout the book giving lots of extra information - very nice.
The authors Colleen Ryan and Brian Savage are both from England and are PADI dive instructors. They have done a wonderful job of detailing the exciting world of diving in the Windward Islands. A great guide for the diving enthusiast, and just in time for the holidays.
