Scuba Magazines?

[Paco II]

I thought for sure a quick search for 'scuba magazines' would easily find me an answer, but surprisingly it didn't. The only two dive magazines I know of are Scuba Diving Mag (which I get) and Sport Diver (which I don't want). I am looking to subscribe to another mag, and was hoping to get a list of recommended dive magazines. So, any suggestions? To be clear, I am not looking for something online.

Dive Training is a good monthly mag..

There are quite a few threads on the topic, not sure why you could not find them...
As you did not say what exactly you are looking for, let me mention a couple magazines that I know, or know of:
If you like bare bones (i.e. no glossy pictures and no ads) and don't mind the cost, "undercurrent" is pretty good (there is definitely at least one thread on undercurrent on this board).
If you like photography, there is fathoms, and a new magazine from wetpixel.
If you like wrecks , check out "wreck diving magazine".
(And as you asked for recommendations, I would (and did) subscribe to undercurrent - subscribe to it for a year or two and you have all the information you'll ever need ).

Yeah it's worth a good laugh.
Quest is nice.

Advanced Diver Magazine has some beautiful photography and some great stories, particularly if you are interested in wrecks.

Quest also has some beautiful photography, and some fascinating articles about diving science.

Neither of those has much in the way of resort diving or tropical advertising.

Because Spart is soooo above a recreational dive training magazine...and probably because it discusses subjects like snorkel clears, doffs and dons, neutral buoyancy, safety issues, environment, aquatic life, etc, you know...basic laughable stuff...
