Best Scuba Magazine

[Mthelming]

I'm looking at getting a subscription to a scuba magazine. I know that there are quite a few out there, and I am wondering which one you feel is the best. Thanks!

Dive Training Magazine is a decent magazine for new divers. They're pretty unbiased and print articles about things other than where to travel to dive. You can also pick it up free at your LDS.

Scroll to the bottom of this page and you'll see several other threads on the same subject.

I would also suggest that this is the one to start with.

Another vote for Dive Training. The rest of the rags are a waste of money, compared to DT.

Based on you posted number of dive I would go with dive training. Very informative for the new as well as the experienced diver alike. The mag is very unbiased, which is not true with alot of the others.

Since Dive Training is free, and you're starting out there is useful information to be found in both Scubadiving and Sport Diver(PADI's mag.). But as others have posted, they do show some bias at times imo.

Fathoms has great photos but not much else. And they're somewhat inconsistent on their delivery.

Just about every dive magazine (at least those with websites) can be found here: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lpt/links.htm

Scroll down to Diving-Magazines. Also there's links to all aspects of diving.
