Isle of Man Dive Guides
- Dive Sites and Marine Life of the Calf of Man
by Bill Sanderson, Bruce McGregor and Andrew Brierley, Immel Publishing Ltd, 1994, Paperback.
- 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.
