[torontoscubagirl]

Hello

Can anyone recommend a good book detailing information on Carribean reef fishes, corals, reef wildlife - someting with pictures for identification and a little info on what they do, who they eat, who eat them, etc.

Thanks a bunch

If only it were waterproof.... and had all of the critters, not just 98.5%

(p.s.: a.k.a.: "Paul Humann book" as well, same same)

Actually, they make/sell a smaller version of it in slick waterproof pages. It's a small softback copy that has mabye 30-50 pages? (but I'm just guessing t the page count). I think it was $12 bucks. It's nice to carry in the dive bag to use on a boat where everything is not "dry". It not as fancy or details as the big book, but better than those fish id plastic "cards" you buy.
