Which reef and fish ID book?

[ScubaDiva]

Okay folks - which reef and fish ID book should I buy for next weeks trip to the Red Sea?

Lol.

You can get ID cards from sellers on the waterfront and in various shops in Naama Bay for only a couple of quid, (if that's where you're going)

I've got the Debelius Red Sea Reef guide and lots of centres use it.

When are you going? You're welcome to borrow mine if you want! I'm going to be in Halifax next Saturday night which isn't too far...

ha - thank you, but I hoard books so like to buy them! besides I suspect that it will be one i will use again and again.

I'm off next Sunday, but in any case will be in Brum for the dive show on Saturday before I go.

Lol.

I can highly recommend this one:

As good as the Debelius in terms of pics and species covered, but lighter to carry and cheaper!

Thanks Steve,

I was thinking about this one - saw it had good reviews on amazon. Also I have a collins fish ID one for the south pacific which is pretty good.

Another vote for Debelius, bless his little ichthyological heart.
