An unspoilt, spectacular area boasting diverse marine life and generally fine underwater visibility. The co-authors provide a fine blend of diving and marine biological knowledge, with general site descriptions, notes on what  to look for, and information on currents and weather. Ninety sites are listed.

The Isle of Man boasts some  excellent diving and this book describes some of the best dive sites in the south of the island. It is written by three marine biologists, based  on their extensive personal experience of diving the area. The detailed  and enthusiastic descriptions of the local marine life set this book apart  from other dive guides, and there are lots of colour photos to help with  identification. The book also covers some background history of the Calf  of Man islet and local shipwrecks. Diving information includes launch sites and local services.

This book looks at a selection of 85 wreck sites around the Isle of Man (wrecks far from the shore or too deep for the sports diver are excluded). Each entry gives an extensive description  of the wreck site with any special features for a diver to note. A detailed account of the history of each shipwreck is provided, along with technical  data on each vessel as she existed prior to her loss. A separate section  will give valuable information for the diver on how to access sites etc.  It is anticipated that several maps of the location of the wrecks sites can be included.
