It has all the necessary charts for approach planning and nice aerial images showing the way to anchorages. To make navigation easy there is an outstanding set of GPS waypoints you can use with the boat's plotter. An exceptional help are the charts of dive moorings and dive spots to find all the dive spots on your own not being dependent on the dive shops and their preselected dive spots schedule. I wished this guide would be regularily available in Europe as well. Amazon 2015 --amazon.com Great guide. Everything you need to know on your trip to Abaco even if you're not a cruiser!
