Both snorkeling and diving locations were mapped out and described. Travel tips seemed relevant and useful as did the safety tips.
Don't Leave Home Without It!

I found LP's Diving & Snorkeling Baja California indispensable. By far, it is the most handy guide book offered about scuba diving on the peninsula. The combination of accurate maps, superb photos, and excellent dive site descriptions make this book a winner. What I also particularly enjoyed was the appendix of marine life found in Baja. Although not complete in every detail (this book would be a LOT heavier!) for a dive foray down onto the peninsula it is perfect. This book wasn't written to be a tome; its strength lies in its ability to accurately project experiences a diver may encounter at each of the sites to include marine biology, underwater geology, and level of difficulty. The two sections of the book that I found most valuable were 1) the description of El Bajo, the shallow underwater volcano you can dive on pg. 105 (for a REALLY thorough description read "Diving The Seamount") and the section on the mysterious Islas de Revillagigedo dive sites several hundred miles south of Cabo beginning on pg. 124. As an added bonus, the major dive operators, hotels, recompression chambers (you never know!) are listed in various sections of this guide. Well done!
Great Information on Baja.

I used this book for a trip to baja two summers ago. It was a great reference for finding good dive sites. The pictures are wonderful and the maps are very helpful. If you are planning to go to Baja to dive then be sure to pick up this book and plan to spend some quality time in La Paz!

I really enjoyed this book and have used it extensively. It gives a brief summary of many of the dive sites all over north and south Baja with great color pictures and contact names. A must have for the diver in Baja.
