This is the most comprehensive guide to the Atlantic and Caribbean ocean fishes available. I have used this guide for identifying fish seen while snorkeling and scuba diving off the Florida keys and Cozumel. I have found the information contained in this guide to be extremely valuable and extensive; I consider it a must in order to better appreciate the beautiful & fascinating underwater world of this region!
