 Pretty pictures, but not good for trip planning August 18, 2008

When we got this book last Spring, my wife & I already had a trip planned to Mexico. We were going to spend a few days on Isla Holbox (she wanted to swim with the whalesharks) but we had no plans for the second half of our week. Along comes this book with a description of a lovely dive resort on the Yucatan, so we booked it. It was a very nice place, but the dive shop had changed hands and was completely different from what the book describes; we were greatly disappointed. In fact, we ended up renting a car and driving to another dive shop and did our diving there.
Bottom line, there are some beautiful pictures, and the book might offer some ideas on places to explore, but be aware that it is impossible for the author to keep all of the details current.

Tim sigmond introduces the reader to the best of diving, with beach resorts and spas that are truly world class! What this book does best is help to plan a vacation for a discerning family of both divers and non-divers that want only the best, in and out of the water...and are willing to pay for it. Having been to a few locations, Tims reviews are factual, the photographs true to form and the dive facilities well detailed.
All in, "Dive in Stlye" is one of the best books in its class.
My only suggestion to Tim... Can you do a "Safari in Stlye" next?!!

This is what I've been looking for -- satisfies my love of diving/snorkeling with my husband's sense of style AND tells me which resorts my son (age 7) is welcome at! :) We LOVE to look through & dream about visiting all these amazing resorts --my son said, after looking through the book for the first time, "This is like a book about Heaven!" ;) That says it all!

The photos are beautiful. We have been to 2 of the resorts and the reviews are pretty accurate. It will be useful for planning future trips.
