we get Scuba Diving, Alert Diver, Sport diver and Dive Training. I enjoy reading them all.

I have scuba diving, asian diver and scubaglobe. The last two are great mags for us divers located in this region. Am just wondering why scuba diving goes back to reviewing cozumel, caymans and roatan almost on a monthly basis and not on some frontier dive spot for a change.

i agree. do you think that asian diver is any good considering most of our diving is local?

Bro, that's how I discovered sangalaki, indonesia. Don't discount the possibility of you going to some exotic diving place for your honeymoon in the future.
BTW, saw your puerto galera countdown in another thread. I do hope you get a good diving rate. It's much much different from Anilao rates.

Spoon you should check out "Dive Magazine" http://www.divemagazine.co.uk . It's a UK publication, but I think it's miles ahead of Scuba Diving Magazine or Sport Diver.
Paired with Asian Diver, I think it'd take care of all your Diving literature needs..

If you can find a way to get it there, I really recommend Dive Training magazine. Their email is divetraining@spc-mag.com
Dive Training seems to have more practical info. I get 5 different mags but as a recreational diver I seem to refer back to Dive Training most often. My second choice would be Scuba Diving (lots of info about gear) over Sport Diver (lots of info about destinations).
I also like another British mag called Diver. You can read it online, but I like the pretty hard copy for travel. http://www.divernet.com/index.shtml
It looks a lot like DIVE, but the articles are more thorough and I like the columnists better.
Also, you might want to try Undercurrent, a bimonthly newsletter that has lots of good info. They accept no advertising, so it's a bit less biased. Subscribers also get an annual travel guide written by readers. You can read excerpts at www.undercurrent.org
Of the two you mentioned, I prefer Scuba Diving, because it has slightly better articles. Sport Diver seems to spend most of its space pitching dive travel, which isn't what I read a dive mag for.
Dive Training, Advanced Diver, Immersed, and Fathoms (I'm not sure the last two are currently being published) are all sources of good info on diving too.
