I never knew what these fish were for sure until I got this book and matched up the photographs to my own photographs of the Caribbean fish. It has been so helpful in identifying the various species, and, lo and behold, a lot of fish look completely different in different stages of their lives. This book has beautiful, professional photographs, and clear explanations of what to look for. There are also drawings to help identify fin, tail and body shapes, and shows the differences between juveniles and terminal (adult) fish. I really appreciate having this and being able to accurately caption my own photos, instead of "yellow fish with black stripes." Review: Awesome guide for a novice snorkeler! - After reading the other reviews about this book here on desertcart, I opted to purchase it to accompany me on a 3-week kayaking trip of the outer islands of Belize. I am more or less a novice at tropical snorkeling and at the beginning of the trip, I had no idea who I was sharing my underwater adventures with, but after consulting this book before and after every dive, by the end of the trip I could say "oh, there's a stoplight parrotfish in the intermediate stage" as if I'd known my whole life. Beautiful full-color photos helped greatly with identifying my finned friends and the corals and other creatures they live with. Brief explanations of each of the groups of critters were interesting and educational too. This is definitely not a fully-encompassing guide and probably not for folks who already know most of the plants and animals they are snorkeling with in the Caribbean, but for those who are starting off completely clueless, I *HIGHLY* recommend this book. Both I and my kayaking partner (who grew up in Panama and had been diving with these guys all his life, but never knew who they were!) thoroughly enjoyed learning from this book. I'm back here on desertcart now to purchase the more comprehensive books for our next Caribbean kayaking trip! :) Two thumbs up! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #142,853 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Bahamas Travel Guides #64 in Marine Life #247 in Outdoors & Nature Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (164) | | Dimensions | 5.8 x 0.2 x 8.8 inches | | Edition | Spi | | ISBN-10 | 1878348108 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1878348104 | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 80 pages | | Publication date | April 1, 1995 | | Publisher | New World Publications | ## Images ![Snorkeling Guide to Marine Life Florida, Caribbean, Bahamas - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wKuZsMe1L.jpg) ![Snorkeling Guide to Marine Life Florida, Caribbean, Bahamas - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91X1gCfDN+L.jpg) ![Snorkeling Guide to Marine Life Florida, Caribbean, Bahamas - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810Fec17fcL.jpg) ![Snorkeling Guide to Marine Life Florida, Caribbean, Bahamas - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kKiSm-FKL.jpg) ![Snorkeling Guide to Marine Life Florida, Caribbean, Bahamas - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31dS9UtZ+RL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Huge Help Identifying Fish *by V***R on December 30, 2012* I've been to the Riviera Maya coast of Mexico every year for 9 years, and have spent the bulk of my time there snorkeling and taking pictures of fish.

This is from the series of wonderful books by Paul Humann and Ned DeLoach. They did the much more informative Reef Fish ID, Reef Creature ID, and Reef Coral ID. This Snorkeling Guide has many of the same great photos and is very useful if you are satisfied with simply knowing the name of the creature. What is missing are the more extensive notes from the fuller editions; those missing notes tell WHERE the creature is found (e.g., only in the Bahamas, on the Gulf side of Florida, etc.). Also missing is the Reaction to Divers section and the more informative introductions to groups (like Angel Fish, or Wrasses). So, although this is a nice book, it really is a much simplified book for identification. It does not function as a Field Guide (the information on individual creatures is very slight). If you want a comprehensive field guide, this is not the book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Snorkeling Guide to Marine Life Florida, Caribbean, Bahamas - Caribbean Sea Reef Creatures Waterproof Fish Card 4" x 6" - Reef Fish Identification Travel Edition - 2nd Edition: Caribbean Bahamas South Florida --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/319942-snorkeling-guide-to-marine-life-florida-caribbean-bahamas](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/319942-snorkeling-guide-to-marine-life-florida-caribbean-bahamas) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
