This book explores the superb marine habitats, islands and reefs of one of the world’s most fascinating diving destinations. Combined with the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean is the fifth largest expanse of water in the world and the fourth deepest. It is home to hundreds of species of fish, sponges, crustaceans and corals, many of which are found nowhere else.
This magnificently illustrated book describes over 100 dive sites scattered around the most popular dive resorts in the area. Information is provided on the best times to go, where to stay, and where dive centres are located. Informative text highlights the top dives in the Caribbean and offers an insight into some of the more fascinating and colourful creatures occurring here, such as the sea stingers, manatees, toadfish and frogfish. The Caribbean diving experience includes swimming with dolphins, feeding sharks and stingrays, observing cleaning stations, and exploring wrecks and ancient underwater caverns filled with stalactites and stalagmites.
It is unrealistic to compare one island, one reef wall or one wreck with another, and the author acknowledges that the dives included here, chosen for their outstanding interest, are just some of those available
