A new dive magazine by Mike Ange and Team

[Mike Ange]

Hi,

I am Mike Ange and I was the training editor and a columnist (Lessons for Life, Ask an Instructor and Training Articles) at SCUBA Diving Magazine from 01 - 09. I also wrote Diver Down: Real World Scuba Accidents and How to Avoid Them (McGrawhill Publishing) and several diver/instructor training manuals for training agencies. I am also an advanced technical instructor trainer (CCR, Trimix, etc) with several agencies.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the forum to my latest project - a new magazine that is member supported! We are trying an experiment to see if a magazine can be supported by divers without the influence of major advertisers like equipment manufacturers and training agencies. Please take a look at our site and let us know what you think. Here are some more details.
