My Thoughts:

As I mentioned above, I love to travel. I especially love to snorkel, and I want to learn how to scuba dive. I first snorkeled in Xel-Ha on the Riveria Maya in Mexico. It took me a little while to get the hang of it, but once I did, it was hard to get me out of the water to do something else. The clear blue water of the Caribbean was made for snorkeling and diving.

Well, this book is more about scuba diving than snorkeling, but it’s not JUST for divers. The author mentions you can stay on land or on the boat visiting these stunning places and have just as much fun. The pictures inside are as glorious as you’d imagine from National Geographic. Rich colors, large, full page photos; this is truly the perfect coffee table book and conversational piece. Not only that, it made me feel wanderlust to visit all these places. In fact, I started a list already! It’s an absolutely gorgeous book! Talk about a bucket list for travel!

Overall, if you are looking for the perfect gift for a friend who has the travel bug, or one who likes to dive or snorkel, this book is a gem of a find!

I received a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.
