Each of the main dive sites is described with details including: the type and nature of the dive, the specific species to be encountered, the history of the wrecks to be explored, the location of other good dive sites nearby. The individual dive sites are shown on maps at the start of each country. where travel advisories also list detailed information on the climate; the best months to visit, how to get there; the water temperature and visibility conditions; the quality of the marine life; the depth of the dives and practical information for divers, such as when full wetsuits should be worn.
