The Wildebeest's Review of The Dive Sites of South Africa

You may or may not know that Wildebeest are not too fond of water. You just have to watch footage of a river crossing in the Serengeti during the great migration to know why. So, it is with your reviewer who likes to think of himself as a Wildebeest. So, I do not have experience of fiving around South Africa!

I think that if I did do some diving, I would find this book very useful! It covers over 170 dive sites along the coasts and some of the inland locations as well. It is packed with information and has a number of colour photographs and many maps.

For each of the dive locations you will find information on how to get there, is suitable to use a snorkel, the conditions, dangers and much more. At the back of the book there is plenty of information on wreck diving, rules and regulations as well as first aid.

I am sure that divers will find this book very useful and is one that will be referred to over and over again when planning your next diving trip.
