This was exactly what I was looking for. I will arrive in Bali ready to dive and already knowing the area's reefs so that I know what the diving guides are talking about and avoid some tourist trap reef.
Thank you

I know that this sounds like hyperbole, but this book is so far above and beyond any other dive guide I have used that I cannot resist. The maps are works of art and acurate, to boot.
After reading this book, my dives at the Liberty, the Tulamben drop off and Batu Kelebit seemed like visits with old friends.
As a terrific bonus, you can even dive these sites with Wally Siagian (+62 363 41869, persistantly) as I did.
