Sarah Ann Wormald is from Ilkley, West Yorkshire in the UK where she previously worked as a Solicitor. Sarah began diving in 1999 in the Red Sea in Egypt, and after having dived in numerous destinations around the world, she moved to Indonesia in 2007. Since her move to Asia, Sarah has become an instructor who has shared her passion with hundreds of students through teaching them how to explore the underwater world. When Sarah is not teaching, she spends her time traveling Indonesia diving and photographing. From the outset of this project, Sarah's aim was to promote operators who dive safely and who protect and care for the reefs around them. Sarah's interests in Indonesian reefs, marine life, adventure and exploration led her to begin working on this book in 2013. Sarah currently lives and works full time in Indonesia.
"If you're serious about diving in Southeast Asia, then this guide
will give you a wealth of country--and region maps, as well as
ample details on the underwater topography and marine life you can
expect to see." --Indie Traveller
"Useful essays on local liveaboards and marine life offer some
excellent insights and 25 per cent of the book is dedicated to
practicalities, with lists of contacts and need to know information
about health, visas, emergencies, money, weather and what to bring
-- all useful stuff. Overall an excellent addition to our dive
guide library, which could well become a classic. It's certainly
got us planning our next visit to the region." --Dive Magazine
"Diving in Southeast Asia provides a useful starting point for
planning a trip. It provides maps spotting the locations of sites
and brief tabulated summaries for quick reference. Every page is
adorned with a colorful picture generally taken underwater. From
marine life suitable for super-macro cameras to WWII wrecks draped
in corals, from whale sharks to pigmy seahorses, it's all covered."
