After having read this book by Bob Burgess I have plans for sailing and diving in the Carribean in the near future. This is a very well written and informative book. I would even go as far as to say that it could be used as guide for some outstanding places to sail and dive in the Carribean. I usually dive the Gulf of Mexico and local caves, but now I see that I am missing out on even better diving. If you like to dive, sail, or just have fun in the water, this is a must read book. I highly recommend it.
Nice little book with GREAT photos

The content of Burgess's book is very good as you'd expect, but as a graphics/visual person I'll opin that what really makes it shine are the photos. Burgess has a great eye, especially for diver photos which really put the beautiful scenery in context. Recommended.

Informatively written by veteran diver and journalist Bob Burgess, Diving Off The Beaten Track is an engaging travelogue showcasing superb diving locations in the Bahamas, the Caymans, Belize, and Bay Islands. Full-color photographs wonderfully enhanced Burgess' engaging narration making Diving Off The Beaten Track superbly fascinating reading for armchair travelers as well as an invaluable Caribbean travel planning guide for avid divers.
Lots of general info
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
For the diver looking to expand their geographical horizons. The info for the most part is very general. It's an overview of interesting and less visited dive spots. If you're serious about travelling & diving 'off the beaten path' you'll need to supplement this with a more specific guide for your destination. But a good 'idea book' for those casting about for new travel & dive destinations.
