Husband-and-wife team Beth and Shaun Tierney recently published a book called Diving The World. Part of Footprint Travel Guides, Diving The World carefully describes and compares over 200 of the world's top dive sites, including Australia, PNG, Solomons, Fiji, Galápagos, Belize, Mexico, Honduras, Egypt, East Africa, Maldives, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, and Micronesia. The 352-page book  is crammed (in a good way) with maps, color photos, information on climate and dive conditions, anecdotes of the various dive sites, local conservation issues, and suggested top-side activities. Looking inside the book set my mouth to watering. Must...get...copy...

For a taste of what the book is like, check out the Tierneys' website, Sea Focus, which is loaded with tons of exquisite underwater (and topside) images as well as comprehensive trip reports they have compiled through their work/travels. Must...get...this...job...

To get your own copy, you can order through Footprints, Sea Focus, or (if you live in the US, it's cheapest from) Amazon.
