Diving the Pacific: Micronesia and the Western Pacific Islands, Vol. 1 FROM THE PUBLISHER
Many divers consider Micronesia, with its crystal clear water, rich marine life, and a steady parade of big pelagic fish, to be the single best all-round diving area in the world. Some of the reefs in this great island group are already legendary: Palau's Blue corner, the manta-filled channels of Yap, and Chuuk, with 38 WWII wrecks charted in its lagoon. Seasoned author Leonard covers these and more, taking you beyond the classics to the newest sites in each area. Including accurately rendered marine charts for every important area, data on seasons, tide and current conditions, and background sections on marine life and reef ecology, Diving the Pacific is the perfect guide for the seasoned diver or the beginner with an eye for adventure.
Author Biography: David Leonard's writing has appeared in The New York Times, Scuba Network, Asian Diver, and Australia's Scuba Diving, among other publications.
