Miss it? Not for a second. After the one year I subscribed to it in the late 70's, I concluded it was totally dedicated to BS and never picked up another issue again.

I miss their favorite phrase "a new and innovative piece of equipment"

Sport Diver to me is mostly a "marketing tool" for the agency it reporesents. I like some of the stuff in it, but it's not all that great.
if Scuba Diving magazine were to disappear, I doubt it would be missed because all they do is cover the same stuff over and over again and whatever product/story their advertisers are pushing (or the other way around with whatever they are pushing to sell advertising)
Dive Training... I like that magazine. It's my favorite.
Scuba News I like also (formally known as Florida Scuba News), but it still is fixated on just Florida too much.

It sure is... 
I know what you mean. My subscription is about to run out and I'm debating whether or not I want to renew it. I think it used to be part of the DAN membership once upon a time.

If I had to pay the $18 they want for a year subscription, I wouldn't get it.
I buy it on ebay from the vendor "Blueskymagazines". I think I paid $8.99 for it for 2 years. Blueskymagazines doesn't charge a shipping or handleing charge either, so the final price ($8.99 in my case) is all you pay. That equates to about 40 cents per issue i pay. (which is about what it is worth). I don't see how ScubaDiving can even mail them to me for that little.

Barnes&Noble and Borders both usually carry it. Right next to all the Surf magazines.stangscuba98a:
It's the official PADI magazine so you can get it through them also.
In my area, Dive Training is free at my LDS. More geared toward beginners though.
I liked Fathoms for the pictures, but they seem to have problems getting out even their quarterly issues these last couple of years.
Just received a copy of a new magazine called Ocean Realm Journal. I'll reserve judgement on it till I see a few more issues. You can d/l a .pdf version of the first two issues at their website: http://www.oceanrealmjournal.com/
