Highly recommended for avid snorkelers:

(Editor)
Recommended, optional:
Any natural history guide. We like either of these two:
Galapagos, A Natural History, Michael Hume Jackson (very readable,
organism-focused),
Galapagos, by John C Kricher (ISBN: 9781588340412, Smithsonian) on sale
for $5.95 (drier, but very informative and more evolutionary) http://www.alibris.com/search/books/isbn/9781588340412
