The REEF SET

Fantastic Quality, arrived on time. Great Condition!Would definitely buy from this seller again. Overall great experience.

Great fish ID books that will be fun to share with others after a day of diving or snorkeling!

Great book a lot information

I own a dive shop in the Mexican Riviera and we used our old copies of these guide for YEARS to help our customers identify what they had seen on their dives. We finally wore them out. It is hard to imagine this many beautiful pictures being taken on film before digital camera went underwater. Great job Paul Humann.

My wife and I live on the island of St. Croix. We dive every weekend, and have 147 dives since Nov. 1. We spend a lot of time under the surface of the water. I work full time, she is employed part-time...neither in the Dive industry. There is not a single dive which we come up from that we don't refer to one or more of Humann's reference books. They could not be better, graphically. And we find his descriptions and behaviorial characterizations to be right on! Just last week on a night dive, we were convinced that a shark which approached us could not be a Nurse Shark due to its gray-whiteish coloration. That particular shark had been identified (incorrectly) as always being a brownish, dark color by another identificaiton guide. When we arrived home, pulled out Humann's Reef Fish and read, sure enough it is often grayish and a light color in addition to the brown/brackish coloration on occasion. So, there was not any reason to make that mess in my dive suit, had I studied Humann's identification, I would have realized that HUGE critter was just being curious, not looking at us as the MAIN COURSE! WE LOVE THESE BOOKS! Every dive shop here uses them religiously.

Great set for anyone that snorkels or dives regularly and wants to identify the wildlife

Great books for identifying tons of species. It does everything that it advertises which is awesome! I only wish that it went into a bit more detail about each specimen. I would buy this set again for sure.

I didn't realize how good these are until I used several other guides. I use the fish book most. The biggest difference is the small drawings by most photos pointing out the key features for distinguishing one fish species from another. Multiple phases are often shown for fish that change with age or sex. The other information is good - much more than just ID, but also not packed with details only an ichthyologist cares about.The other books are equally high in quality, but with different details. Corals and sponges are so variable that it's impossible to show a picture of every form, but they seem to do a good job under the circumstances. If you want to identify what you have seen or photographed in this part of the world, get these books.
