David Wilson:
Two British diving magazines with 1950s issues now online

Only the first issue of "Skin Diver" may be available for free download online (http://tinyurl.com/oo24y2c), but I'm delighted to report my discovery that two further magazines, both British, have complete issues, not just front covers and starting from the 1950s, posted on the Web:

1. Royal Navy Diving Magazine, Volumes 1-16 (July/Sept 1951-December 1970). Volume 1 Number 1 is 5 months older than the first issue of "Skin Diver"! Location: RN Diving Magazines
View attachment 221355

2. The London Diver, Volumes 1-2 (May/June 1959 - Sept/Oct 1960). 8 issues. Location: Historical Chronicles of London No. 1 Diving Club

Both have great ads and stories from the pioneer era of diving! Very helpful to the diving historian too. It's brilliant that a few generous people have taken the trouble to make such publications available to a wider audience.
