The book is divided into sections based on the difficulty of the dives. There are beginner, intermediate, and advanced dives as well as all skills locations and valuable information in the back of the book not only on scuba resources but on the importance of divers taking the lead in ocean conservation as well. Each of the 100 dive locations listed here is described briefly. All entries have a helpful list of the wildlife divers can expect to see at each location and the statistics on the water (average temperature, visibility, etc.). Many of them also have helpful travel tips and share when during the year the diving is best at each spot or when specific species are in the area. The photographs accompanying the text are stunning, as you'd expect of National Geographic. They range from gorgeous ocean life to aerial shots of the islands and reefs. If you are a diver, this book will add to the list of places you want to explore for sure. My husband and my bank account may not be pleased I have this to consult and to dream over but I am glad I can revisit the pages, at least until I can dive the actual sites.

Thanks to Trish from TLC Book Tours and National Geographic for sending me a copy of the book for review.
While you'll never see me diving I'd want this book solely for the photographs if they are anything like the cover! Thanks for being on the tour!
