Lonely Planet Diving & Snorkelling Guides

From £9.99

Publisher: Lonely Planet

The Diving and Snorkeling series from Lonely Planet explores the diving opportunities in a range of popular international diving sites. Frank and informal in style, the guides offer practical advice to travelers on specific diving holidays or those wanting to dive or snorkel while away. The guides offer practical advice on a large number of diving sites in the region and are suitable for advanced divers and novices alike.

Widely recognized for their reliability, each Lonely Planet Diving and Snorkeling guide has the same layout. Extensive introductory chapters cover facts about the region, including history, geography and language, practical guidance on what to bring, the rating system for dives and divers, ‘live aboards’ and underwater photography, a Conservation chapter and important Health and Safety measures, including pre-departure planning, medical and recompression facilities and signaling devices.

Each of the dive sites is arranged by region, with extensive descriptions of each dive accompanied by information boxes outlining location, depth range, access and expertise rating. There is also a table at the start of each region listing all of the dives and indicating if there is good snorkeling and if it is appropriate for novices, intermediate level or advanced divers. A further chapter outlines any hazardous marine life that divers may encounter.

A Travel Facts section gives practical guidance and useful information on visas and documents, money, communications, time, electricity, weights and measures, accommodation, dining and food, shopping, getting there and away and getting around.
