For those who wish to dive in the cenotes located in the Yucatan, this book is an OUTSTANDING reference source. For those who wish to own a book that presents beautiful underwater cave photography, this book is a MUST PURCHASE. “The Cenotes of the Riviera Maya” is a complete guide to the area’s beautiful dive sites. But even more than that, I found it to include a comprehensive discussion about the scientific history of the area; the skills and techniques necessary to be a good cave diver; important points about conservation of the fragile cave environment; and it even provided valuable information about how to pack for the trip to the Riviera Maya! Steve Gerrard is truely deserving of being credited as “an expert” in cave diving–with over 25 years devoted to this sport, he knows what he is talking about. And, he conveys the information in a manner that he has become known for–that of “Teacher”. Steve loves to teach others about cave diving, and to see divers thrill over the cave diving experience. This book conveys the beauty and magic of the underwater cave environment. The underwater photography is a First Class WORK OF ART. Just as important, Steve–ever the Teacher–explains important points about safely diving within the overhead environment.

I just returned from Playa del Carmen and did two cavern dives.Chacmoo and Tajmaha. If only I had more time. This book is as real as it gets. The water IS as clear as Evian. Steve Gerrard has done a splendid job.

This book is a great help for all cave divers, who tried in vain to explain their hobby to other people. It presents an excellent impression WHY (take a look at the marvelous pictures) and HOW (equipment configuration, techniques and training) cave divers are addicted to their alien environment. (Even my grandmother ( 87 ) wanted to read the book.)Besides THE CENOTES OF THE RIVIERA MAYA is an excellent (full information) guide for every snorkeler and especially cave diver who intends to visit Yucatan.For everyone who has been there: !WARNING! This book contains the feelings and memories of the best diving you ever had, it`s like a call to come back.
