I am trying to find a good book for a gift. Looking for something that lists "Must see dives" or similar. I just purchased one on rock climbing sites and am having a real hard time finding one for diving. Thanks for the suggestions!!

Check out "Fifty Places To Dive Before You Die" by Chris Santella.

Awesome suggestion. I was going to try and find something on amazon to suggest but that sound like a good one. Plus, father’s day is coming up and I know that our kids would love to get that for Greg.. ok.. shh!

Well, this isn’t a dive travel book, but you could start a collection of the Ned DeLoach/Paul Humann fish/critter/coral identification books. You’ll use them and treasure them always!

Here’s a link to one of my favorite... its a diver’s survival true story, I think this link gives you the first chapter. It’s Robert Hewitts, Treading Water. : http://books.google.com/books?id=w9r6pZ_deikC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Treading+Water+-+the+Rob+Hewitt+Survival+Story&source=bl&ots=-J-C2TIFe4&sig=YQFtRKaMb7MkqoBDdWQv4nzvXIY&hl=en&ei=rZHcS8qVLpPANen6wcQH&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CAYQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false
