 Lots of Fish Photos from the Pacific April 15, 2008
My wife and I are avid divers and this Reef Fish ID book is good. However, it is not quite the quality of Paul Humann's other reef guides.
On the plus side, there aree hundreds of photos. On the minus side, the photos are rather small.
Additionally, the booklet does a decent job of describing the fish but provides little information about fish behavior.
most comprehensive tropical pacific fish book March 11, 2008
i have yet to find a fish book that has it all. but from all the fish id book i own this is the most comprehensive one. although there are a few fish found in hawaii thats not in the book.
An ambitious work October 10, 2007

This is a very ambitious work - the number of Indo-Pacific fish species illustrated is simply staggering, often showing regional variations and juvenile forms. On the other side, image quality and reproduction are often disappointing, and the minimal texts limit its scope somewhat. It will make an unbeatable identification and learning combo when paired with the equally interesting but infinitely better illustrated A Diver's Guide to Reef Life and A Diver's Guide to Underwater Malaysia Macrolife by Andrea and Antonella Ferrari - both featuring excellent written texts, exquisite color photographs and - in the case of the latter - hundreds of entries for cephalopods, crustaceans, nudibranchs and various other invertebrates. With these three field guides in your library almost no Indo-Pacific fish or critter will be able to escape identification!
 Excellent reference for identification of my species in Pacific area August 1, 2007

Easy to use and identify your photographs, particularly for an experienced diver used to identifying many types of fishes
Excellent fish guide for the Pacific July 12, 2007

I used this guide while diving in Western Pacific Islands and it was extremely helpful - species easy to pinpoint in the groupings provided and the excellent ID photos made correct species identification very easy. I will strive to buy all the rest of their publications.
