Title: A Thousand Miles of Diving Access Points...
Fossil Diving in Florida's Waters

Whether you dive at 60 feet, snorkel at 2 feet or screen wash in an inch
of water, Robert
Sinibaldi's Fossil Diving is a wonderfully useful tool for those who
want to explore
underwater Florida to search for fossils. From watching weather
patterns to determine
the best time to hunt, to knowing which equipment will best do the job,
or where the best
places are and how to find them, as well as how to identify your finds,
Sinibaldi covers it
all.
He stresses safe diving and keeping accurate notes, and encourages
fossilers to be as
passionate in their hunting ethics as they are in their pursuit of
fossils. He also
recognizes the need for a positive interaction between professional and
amateur
paleontologists so that all of us will benefit. Amateurs continue to be
responsible for
making a great many new fossil discoveries and as such are invaluable to
the science of
paleontology. Yet without the professional community to interpret the
finds through
laboratory analysis and then putting it all into the proper context, the
amateur's find is
just a neat-looking pile of bones.
Sinibaldi himself is a driven individual who strives to be a
perfectionist in everything he
does, and it clearly shows in this fine paperback.
