Tauchen Auf Den Malediven

A detailed guide to diving in all the tourist atolls of the Maldives for all levels of diver. It contains 114 computer-generated atoll, region and dive-site maps and descriptions of over 270 dive sites based on the author's personal research over a period of 12 years. Topological maps of the major sites graphically illustrate the features of each reef and through the use of symbols give divers a pre-dive analysis of what they can expect to see during their dive. Each of the 15 newly declared protected marine areas have been mapped and their features recorded. In addition, there is a comprehensive overview of island history, Indian Ocean maritime history and famous shipwrecks of the Maldives. The book features 191 photographs and also includes a useful diver information section as well as an index of fish, dive sites, resorts and liveaboard vessels.
