Talking Dive site books
I'm starting to do more UK diving, mostly cornwall (cos they have great pasties!). I've done escorted dives (rent-a-buddy) until now with some great guys (Kennack diving, Wavecrest scuba) who i highly recommend and will dive with again.
So far i've been around lizard (drawna rock) and falmouth (swanpool beach, gylly? beach, pendenis head), a few last august and 3 so far this year.

I'm looking for a good dive site guide, with GOOD maps/drawings.
Preferrably cornwall (great pasties + nice curvy barmaids with sexy soft accents!), but also other areas of the UK.

Can anyone suggest publications worthy of recommendation?

The most obvious guides are the DIVER guides, there are quite a few of them, but definitely one for South Devon and Cornwall. They include boat and some shore dives. The range covers most of the country.

The Chris Holden books are good apparrently, but only cover the one area.

Where can you get the Chris Holden books from ? I can't find them on the normal places like Amazon and Play....

You can then order them direct from Chris (probably get them a lot quicker as well)
