Scuba Diving – Malta, Gozo, Comino

The second edition of Peter Lemon’s excellent guide to the islands of Malta, is an absolute must for anyone visiting that corner of the Mediterranean.

Scuba Diving – Malta, Gozo, Comino
by Peter G Lemon
£18.99 •ISBN 978 0954178918

The author draws together a wealth of visual material – underwater and aerial photographs, historical images, maps and graphic illustrations – to put across the intricacies of the dive sites.

Lemon’s accompanying text is precise and authoritative, leaving the reader with a full picture of the many diving options. The practical information on accessing shore-dive entry points is especially comprehensive, and I have no hesitation in recommending this as the best available book on diving Malta and her neighbours.
