Best Dives of the Cayman Islands
Author: Joyce Huber
Publisher: Hunter Publishing, Inc
ISBN: 1588437515
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
Based on the classic Best Dives of the Caribbean, this publication focuses on the Cayman Islands alone. Includes the latest and best dive and snorkel sites, each rated for visual excellence and marine life. The author's knowledge of the Caribbean sites is unparalleled. From sunken planes and snorkel trails to blue holes, the best destinations beneath the waves are covered. Also covered are the best places to stay & eat, activities, sightseeing and all practical details needed for visitors. "I have bought both editions of this book, mostly because the first edition got so dog-eared that I wanted a clean one for vacation last year. The book is a marvelous source of information for both the snorkeler and the diver. The authors divide the book into chapters on individual islands, starting out with a brief but interesting history of the island, a topographical description, relative location map, best time to go, weather, and proximity to other islands. They then rate the island's diving locations, awarding from 1 to 5 stars, and provide another larger map visually locating the sites. Each site is described in detail, with info on depth, sea life, currents, visibility, photo ops and difficulty level. As if that weren't enough, they include some (but not enough!) beautiful photos, and end each chapter with yet more info on dive operators (detailed), beaches, other activities, dining, accommodations (with rates, addresses and phone numbers), medical facilities, documentation requirements, currency, driving, local customs, departure taxes, etc. I've been exploring the Caribbean for almost a decade now; I take this compact book with me everywhere. My only complaint: I wish they covered more islands!" -- (Suziekew). "The new, 2006, third edition of Best Dives of the Caribbean is packed full of dive-vacation planning information. It tells what time of year to go, the most popular dive sites with details on what to expect, depths, average sea conditions-- I get seasick if it's rough and prefer diving where the sites are ten minutes or less by boat, or better yet accessible from the beach. Indeed, some of the other one-desination guides are more suitable for the coffee table, but they don't tell me anything about the dive resorts, the $$ cost. I would not consider planning a dive-vacation to the Caribbean without consulting this gem of a travel guide. The dive resort write ups are detailed and give rates and package deals. Any, the author gives an email for additional questions." -- Janice Brink

Book Description
"Sharon Ward's IN DEEP is a stellar, pulse-pounding debut novel featuring a female underwater photographer. A heady mix of underwater adventure, mystery, and romance." - Hallie Ephron, New York Times bestselling author "Pack your SCUBA fins for a wild trip to the Cayman Islands. In Deep delivers on twists and turns while introducing a phenomenal new protagonist in underwater photographer Fin Fleming, tough, perceptive and fearless." - Edwin Hill, author of The Secrets We Share "How much did I love In Deep? Let me count the ways. Fin Fleming, underwater photographer, is a courageous yet vulnerable protagonist I want to sip Margaritas with. The Cayman Islands are exotic and alluring, yet tinged with danger. The underwater scenes and SCUBA diving details are rendered in stunning detail. Wrap that all into a thrilling mystery and you'll be left as breathless as - well, no spoilers here. You must read it to find out!" - C. Michele Dorsey, Author of the Sabrina Salter Mysteries: No Virgin Island, Permanent Sunset, and Tropical Depression "In Deep is a smart and original story that sucks you in from page one. Edge-of-your-seat suspense, a hauntingly realistic villain, and a jaw-dropping twist make this pacy read unputdownable until the very last word." - Stephanie Scott-Snyder, Author of When Women Offend: Crime and the Female Perpetrator "Breathtaking on two levels, Sharon Ward's debut novel IN DEEP will captivate experienced divers as well as those who've only dreamed of exploring the beauty beneath the sea. The underwater world off the Cayman Islands is stunningly rendered, and the complex mystery involving underwater photographer Fin Fleming, especially the electrifying dive scenes, will have readers holding their breath. Brava!" - Brenda Buchanan, Author of the Joe Gale Mystery Series What would you do if a heartless killer targeted your family and friends by orchestrating deadly underwater mishaps? When a series of accidents befalls the staff at a Cayman Islands-based oceanographic institute, the blame falls on underwater photographer Fin Fleming, who has recently joined the institute founded by her world-famous oceanographer mother. The arrival of her stepfather's previously unknown illegitimate children threatens to sink her mother's marriage, and Fin's ex-husband steals the wind from her career sails when he publicly claims her best work as his own. Fin's life gets even more unsettled when her estranged father shows up out of the blue, after casting her adrift more than twenty years earlier. She seems to be getting her life back on course when she meets Liam, an intriguing Australian who loves diving as much as she does. But the tide turns when Fin realizes the lethal accidents are not coincidences-the killer is targeting her family. She can trust no one and must set a course to surface the predator's identity before her family is swept away on a wave of malevolence.
