Amazing quality
Amazing book full of good quality crisp pictures and dive information. Bought as a gift for a novice diver and gift was well received. Perfect for even a coffee table book if you’re not interested in reading.

A perfect gift for a recreational scuba diver who wants to travel the world and dive at spectacular locations. Beautiful photos. The dive locations are sorted by 3 difficulty levels. Beginner dives (e.g., Chios Island, Greece), Intermediate dives (e.g., Elphinstone Reef, Egypt) and Advanced dives (e.g., The Devil's Highway, Solomon Islands). ~400 pages, book size ~22 cm x 22 cm. Recommended!

100 Dives of a Lifetime is a breathtaking celebration of the underwater world that blends wanderlust, adventure, and environmental appreciation in a way only National Geographic can deliver. Authored by travel writer and diver Carrie Miller, this book curates a global bucket list of scuba dives that range from beginner-friendly coral gardens to extreme, remote sites for advanced divers. The standout feature of this book is, of course, the photography. Each dive site is paired with stunning visuals that transport you beneath the surface, capturing everything from vibrant reef ecosystems to hauntingly beautiful wrecks. It’s a visual feast that will make even landlocked readers dream of the ocean. But it’s not just eye candy. The book offers practical insights about each site—where it is, when to go, what you’ll see, what experience level is needed, and sometimes even conservation concerns. The inclusion of personal stories, quotes from pro divers, and geographic diversity makes this more than just a list—it feels like a journey through Earth’s greatest underwater treasures. What I especially appreciated is the balance. This isn’t just a list of the deepest or most extreme dives; it includes shallow snorkel sites, accessible locations for newer divers, and hidden gems off the beaten path. Whether you’re a seasoned diver planning your next trip, or a dreamer creating a future wish list, this book inspires and informs in equal measure.
