Very Good Reference Book,
By
This review is from: Reef Creature Identification: Florida Caribbean Bahamas (Paperback)
Purchased this along with Reef Fish. Both books are excellent reference books. As a diver, I love flipping through these pages and being able to identify the creatures and fish that I've seen and taken pictures of. The pictures are great - along with the short write-up discussing each creature. They also include a checklist of each creature at the back of the book so you can document when and where you've spotted each one.

The best Guide available,
By
This review is from: Reef Creature Identification: Florida Caribbean Bahamas (Paperback)
Sponges, jellyfish, flat worms, crustaceans, mollusks, star fish, if it is not a fish then it is in this book. This is the authoritative reference for reef creatures (other than fish) throughout the Florida, Caribbean and Bahamas area. The most complete book on reef creatures that I have seen, it is easy to use and beautifully illustrated. Each creature has it's own full color picture along with a line drawing that points out the defining characteristics of that particular species. With a plastic cover and the pages treated to resist water it can be taken to the beach or onto the boat without much concern about the water damaging the book. Each entry has complete information on the creature from size, depth, range and habitat to the level of concern that a diver should have for their safety around the creature. Whether you snorkel, scuba dive or engage in other activities around a reef, this is the best book to have to identify reef creatures. This book can also be purchased as part of a three part set that also includes the Reef Coral Identification and Reef Fish Identification texts, each of which is equally as excellent as the Reef Creature Identification book.

Great book for identifying all types of sea creatures!,
By
This review is from: Reef Creature Identification: Florida Caribbean Bahamas (Paperback)
After we came back from our honeymoon, I wanted to buy my husband a book to help identify the various sea creatures we encountered on our trip, and this book turned out to be perfect. First of all, the animals are broken down into various categories such as "crabs," "squid," etc., and each classification is clearly labelled. There are wonderfully clear, glossy pictures of each individual creature combined with a detailed description which includes information such as size, colors, appearance of immature, habitat, and reaction to divers. An ideal book for serious research or just for fun.
