If I see something weird I take a picture of it. When I sit down later to go through all my shots I flip through and find out what it is. This is a great addition to my other id books. Paul Humann takes wonderful pictures that help make identification easy!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Just what I was looking for.By Horror movie holicI'm a beginner - novice scuba diver and enjoy underwater photography. I really wanted something that wasn't overly complicated to help me identify various creatures when scuba diving in Jamaica. I bought the series of 3 (Reef Creatures; Coral and Fish) and these were precisely what I wanted. The first few pages have some drawn illustrations to guide you to which class you are looking for and go to that section where there are excellent color photos to help identify the species. Every species listed also has a short blurb to tell you specific identifying features (which can be helpful if the specimen you're identifying was a little varied from the photo); the prevalence in the area; normal dwelling areas (like in coral; near sponges; etc) to be even more specific to help you identify. I've already used this to help me id species from past photographs. They are very comprehensive and easy to use.My only minor problem and is probably more my fault for not looking at the shipping weights; is that they are a tad heavier than expected. I'm going on another dive trip soon and plan on taking them with me and perusing them between dives and they will definitely require that I lighten my luggage. Together all 3 books (spiral bound with plastic cover) weigh about 5-6 lbs. Comparatively considering prices for other guides which usually had complaints of not being easy to use; no color photos; not enough info.; I'm still very happy I bought these. I think the value for the money (purchased used - good to very good condition via ); was more than excellent. Even knowing the weight; I would definitely buy again.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. New expanded third edition is greatBy CustomerI have the previous editions of this book and use them extensively. This latest expanded editation is a fantastic reference for those divers who want to know what they are looking at. I prefer the layout of the older editions but assume the greatly increased number of photos necessitated a change for the third edition. Even if you have an older edition and or have been diving for years and "seen it all";you will find this book a useful and valuable reference.For full disclosure; I have contributed many of my photos to this edition.
