The southern end of the Eastern Caribbean offers not only spectacular diving but also fabulous scenery to enjoy between dives, and tall mountains drenched with dense rain forests. Many, islands also have tropical waterfalls and long, beautiful beaches - which often you can have all to yourself. Add to this an almost perfect climate, and a relatively low level of tourism, and you have an area of especial interest to "Scuba" divers.This book, the first in a series of dive guides, covers Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Tobago and Barbados.Authors Brian Savage and Colleen Ryan are both dive instructors who live aboard their 65-foot yacht in the Caribbean. In a refreshingly new approach, they have compiled a detailed and thorough book that is both readable and entertaining. At each island they introduce the reader to all available dive shops, along with nearly every dive site in current use. There are four-color maps and detailed descriptions of aboutone-fourth of the dive sites at each island.Native fish, corals, invertebrates and reptiles that the "Scuba" enthusiast likely will meet also are described in sidebars and illustrated with Brian's spectacular underwater photography.This book clearly is aimed in part at readers planning a diving holiday. Those who have not yet chosen a destination will find help in the onshore information from author Chris Doyle, which gives the flavor of each island destination. This, along with descriptions of 240 dive sites, 80 dive stores and 50 detailed plans, should prove invaluable to all "Scuba" divers interested in the Caribbean.Ryan, Colleen is the author of 'Complete Diving Guide The Caribbean Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada and Carriacou, Tobago, Barbados' with ISBN 9780944428429 and ISBN 0944428428.
