1: A BEAUTIFULL BOOK ABOUT DIVING IN MOZAMBIQUE
When I got this book I was pleased about most of the places it listed. It's a nice book for anyone with an interest to travel and dive in Mozambique. The authors describe in detail some of the most iconic marine species in Mozambique ranging from nudibranchs to large pelagic fish such as whale shark and manta rays. The captions are informative, filled with first-hand information on size, habitat or life habits, and the book is full with dozens of stunning color pictures. The book contains also a good overview of the history of Mozambique as well as useful hints in relation to geography, wildlife, conservation etc.
It's true that as an identification guide this book is rather limited, but as a whole it's obviously geared towards those actually not only going diving, but also wanting to know a bit more about Mozambique.

2: Mozambique, diving in paradise
For many years, Mozambique was associated with images of war, poverty and natural disaster. But since the signing of the 1992 peace accords, devastation and dark time have moved into the past. Only six years ago, diving in Mozambique was reserved to a handful of adventurer divers and exclusive travelers. Today diving and snorkeling are Mozambique's best-developed activities and there are numerous opportunities for pursuing both. I've been diving in many places in the Indian Ocean, but rarely, have encountered such diversity.
The book is not intended in any way to be a scientific work. It is a travel companion for divers, snorkelers, nature lovers or simply travellers to Mozambique. As such, the terminology is kept simple and provide only basic but pertinent information on some of the Mozambican water's icon such as whale shark, manta rays or simply on some of the most common and most beautiful fish, such as the lionfish, sea goldies, anemone fish or snappers. It investigates 4 major destinations in Mozambique, each of them is clearly denoted with lots of information. Color photographs complete a marine live beautifully depicted.
The book is an attractively illustrated guide, so whether you're on a quest for a thrilling diving adventure or looking for a memento of a visit to Mozambique, this book offers everything you need.
