National Geographic A Diver's Guide to the World: Remarkable Dive Travel Destinations Above and Beneath the Surface Paperback – December 6, 2022

Kudos to Carrie Miller and Chris Taylor! I bought an earlier publication by the authors- 100 Dives of a Lifetime, and found that book to be well written so getting this one was a no brainer.As a traveler, who became a diver, I loved this book. The choices of location is amazing. As someone who has wanted to tour the Pacific region and explore underwater this is a good place to start. I am looking into traveling to the Cook Islands, I found their write up of Rarotonga very interesting.I read the sections covering places I have already traveled to, and can not fault their selections at all. While this book covers a lot of the usual diving hot spots, they also go off the beaten path. While every diver is aware of how great the diving is in Maui, this book covers the Island of Hawaii, which is where I fell in love with diving. Their description of the black light dive available is wonderful to read, especially after experiencing it myself.Congratulations on another great book. I look forward to your next one!

I have dived a lot of the Pacific Islands and learned about the places as I went; this book tells the story of places to go and what to do and see on the islands and in the oceans. I love the way each location is detailed, with enough information to know the critical things and places to see, with the tips that are always things you wish you would have known before you went.I see this book as my new travel guide. This, along with Carrie's companion book "100 Dives of a Lifetime: The World's Ultimate Underwater Destinations", is a must-have for all traveling divers.

I purchased two copies of this book. One was myself (not a diver) for the photographs, to learn about the destinations, and to gather non-diving travel tips. The book is great for all of that. Interesting and easy to read. The second copy was for my diver friends (a couple with one avid diver and one new diver), who love it and are using it to plan their next dive trip. Great gift idea for friends who are divers or enjoy travel in dive destinations.

This is a great book! All the appeal of a coffee table book (great photos, easy to read a bit here and there) with the size and essential information of a travel guide. While intended for divers, it's really wonderful for anyone who loves travel to the beach. Definitely will be buying this as a gift this year!

An amazing array of some the best spots on earth. And though it is geared to diving, it is just as phenomenal a travel exploration guide. The writing and photography is exceptional and it is brimming with so much information, key snippets and makes you want to pack your bags immediately.

Expected more places. It doesnt show iceland azores and most of south america. Also most of the pictures in the book are mostly the places above land and not of diving. I didnt really get into the book yet but thats my first impression vs expectations.Pros- it says whats at the dive site very in detail where to stay and where to eat which is importantI didnt find a better book about diving so far thoughm i hope this helps your judgement about buying the book!

This book is amazing. Not only does it have some great, off the beaten path dive destinations, it also gives you much needed information for your time above the water as well. If there is a diver in your life get this book for them. If you are a diver treat yo self.

Excellent photography, world class dive destinations covered and great information to help you decide where you have to dive next. If you are a diver or know a diver you will love this book.
