Summary: A good beginners giude
Comment: This book by two accomplished divers attempts the daunting task of guiding us through the myriad of Florida wrecks. The book is broken down by city or location and gives a history and a nice preview of the dive for each wreck. What is really great are the color photos, both above water and underwater shots. The only draw back to this book is the lack of exact wreck locations.
