Simon Pridmore is a best-selling author of scuba diving books, travel books and scuba diving travel books. Originally from the UK, he has lived in the Asia - Pacific region for almost 40 years. He and his wife Sofie currently live in Bali, Indonesia but spend a lot of time exploring other places trying (although so far failing) to find a cure for their itchy feet.
Dive into Taiwan is the first comprehensive guide to scuba diving in Taiwan ever published, and it has the feel of an instant classic. All in all, this book couldn't be bettered. The author has already three diving guides to various parts of Indonesia under his belt, plus more titles on diving in general. Taiwan, in short, is lucky to have gained his attention. Huge praise must also go to photographer, Kyo Liu ( ). Almost all the underwater photos are his, and they're invariably superb. Taipei Times, January 2020
