SCUBA Diving Best Sellers of 2011

SCUBA Travel are pleased to release the list of the best selling books bought by visitors to our site in 2011. The The Dive Atlas of the World has finally been knocked off its top spot perch, no surprise as it is now out of print and only available second-hand. The bargain of the list has to be Red Sea Sharks which is available from some booksellers new for just 1p.
