Wish there was a 2.5 star to rate with. This was really not quite a 3 but better than a 2. Too much mush and short on any real mystery, character development, or action. The saving feature was the authors actual knowledge of SCUBA and the dive community. Her descriptions of the underwater scenes were good but a little hurried at times. Her characters speech was often stilted and mechanical. I enjoyed the book from a divers perspective but not from a strictly enjoyable story perspective.

This is the classic "chick book" The mystery of love and romance overshadow the goofy search for treasure. Real men..stay away.

The Treasure is one of those "can't put it down" type of books. As a diver, I am always looking for a good book that revolves around scuba diving. The Treasure is an adventure in the tropics with enough romance to intrigue but not so much that it takes away from the treasure hunt. The author has a way of bringing to life the way of the tropics, from underwater scenes to happy hour at the local bar. Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down! I think divers and non-divers alike would enjoy this trip to tropics.
