Summary: Review of Cozumel Guide
Comment: Take a look at the previous reviewer's comments (on multiple books) - he's badmouthed every Pisces and Lonely Planet book (does he work for a competing company??). Readers you really should check out the books for yourselves. Many of them are well written and have lovely photographs (including this one). Sorry to see an entire line badmouthed due to a bias.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good guide
Comment: The first "reviewer" of this book obviously has a problem w/ Pisces books in general, but I would caution other readers to take a look at this book before making hasty judgements about the entire line of books - they're not all written by the same author, nor are they all the same in style or content. I found this book to be very nicely written and informative. It was a great addition to my trip, and I recommend it for both beginning and more advanced divers.

Summary: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
Comment: Like other dive guides published under the Pisces name that I've read, this one is superficial and badly written.
Anyone could have written this book over the course of a day, and just about anyone could have done a better job. The text is skimpy and repetitive: about 1/3 of each dive site review consists of the same paragraph on the risks of drift diving and the need to stay with the group. It's clear that this book was written through intensive use of the copy and paste functions. What's more, this book has some of the worst underwater photography ever published, featuring shot after shot of one of the authors in what has to be the world's ugliest wetsuit (pink and flourescent green). There are very few decent pictures of fish, so you won't get a good idea of what you'll find underwater. Don't waste your money.
