Hello folks:
I love to pick up dive travel books and read about worlds top diving destinations. It seems like world has developed a
consensus about where the best diving is. You read about exactly the same places over and over and over again with slightly
different rankings. My beef with these dive guides is that they are based on the assumnption that the worlds best diving
should be tropical diving. They also target the open water diver. I was looking to do cold water dives around the world
and there was not a single dive guide that would offer information on how to dive the Northern Atlantic or Alaska or Ice Land etc.
Now here is what I am thinking. The world is desperately in need of a new dive guide. The world is in need of an "Open Minded" Dive Guide.
The would be a dive guide that acknowledges that not all divers are vacation divers. Not all their readers are "Open Water." It is based on
the acknowledgement a lot of us are now seeking more challenging dives. We are seeking to explore ice bergs, altitude lakes, colder waters
etc etc. Even in USA there are a lot of places where such diving is possible. Yet they have been ignored because they are not "sexy" and "exotic."
If there are sufficient people interested, then I can get in touch with diving operators in lesser known areas and put together a travel guide
for the seasoned cold water explorer. Im just curious who would be interested?
