From a colorful cover to dozens of detailed maps of snorkeling sites, it draws you into the fascinating underwater world that shouldn't be missed by anyone touring the Big Island.

As Dave Barry says: "When you finally see what goes on underwater, you realize that you've been missing the whole point of the ocean--it's like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent."

It is the first in a series of guidebooks that provide more detailed snorkeling information than ever before available for each of the Hawaiian islands in an attractive, easy to carry package. Snorkel Hawaii: Maui and Lanai, also available from Amazon.com, provides the same detailed coverage of these beautiful islands. Our website, www.malinowski.com, provides detailed information, updates and more.
