Caribbean Ocean life guide

Love this!

"We are new to snorkeling on the Caribbean. The photos and descriptions in the book are clear, bright and include additional species descriptions for better identification. The book is small enough to transport easily in the boat, and resistant to water. A great companion for your day on the reef!"
