Jim M.:
An excellent guide to efficiently identifying the fish of the area. I used it to help identify hundreds of photos I took off New Britain. The quick reference index in the back is especially helpful, and the grouping of fish that look similar is useful also – though in a couple of cases the fish are grouped by how they swim, i.e. with pectoral fins, and that isn't something that can be determined from static photos. There is good information for each species, including ID characteristics, range, habitat and depth information. The introductory family accounts are also quite informative. Sometimes my fish didn't really look quite like the photos, e.g. because it was in a life stage not illustrated. But that is going to be a limitation in any compact photo ID guide–a book that includes all the variation among fish would stretch multiple volumes.

I bought this book before a trip to Zanzibar. It was helpful for identifying the different versions of fish that we saw while there however it was missing a few so I ended up getting another book that our dive shop had available. Overall though it is fairly thorough and the pictures are great. We have several from this series and they are all very helpful.

Ein schönes Geschenk für Taucher und Fischliebhaber.
Die Auswahl und die Infos sind enorm.
Es gibt Infos zu Größe, Form, außergewöhnliche Merkmale, viele tolle farbige Abbildungen, Vorkommen, Haie, Rochen, Aale, Seepferdchen...
Das Buch ist komplett auf Englisch aber allein durch die hunderte von Abbildungen kann man auch mit wenig Sprachkenntnissen viel lernen.

First of all, my biggest Thank you to the seller. Was sold as "Used - Like New" and it probably never was "used". Perfect conditions! I was first skeptical about used, had bad experience before. Therefore big Thank you!
About the book: Probably the most comprehensive guide on the market. Wanted to buy it since 15 years. Finally did it, after my daughter and missus are also diving. I love to see them after dives going through that guide together, getting excited, learning, having fun. simply a "must have" for this region.

Great book! Used this in all my dives and the photos are great which makes it easy for identification and the text info are great help as well. Most of the reef fish that I saw are available on the book.
As expected, the book is a bit heavy but I do not mind at all since I know it has a lot of information that I need. If you are a frequent traveler and want to travel light you might have some issues with the weight.

I have a number of Paul Humann Reef Fish identification books. They are very detailed and provide help on fish identification. Although there is extensive information, don't expect every fish to be represented. Also, many fish are very similar or differ from juvenile to adult. You also need to pay attention to the range for the fish in the pictures. You may think you have just found a rare fish when in fact, it does not inhabit the area where you are.
All the details of how to use the book are in there so take time to see how to best use this excellent reference.
I recently used this book for my dives on the Great Barrier reef and Coral Sea.
