Our Autumn 2022 magazine is all about the new experiences that diving can bring us, as long as we're prepared to put the effort in - as expert photographer Alfred Minnaar found out when he spent four months learning to cave dive in the cenotes of Mexico's Yucatán peninsula. Douglas David Seifert explores the complex dynamics of cleaning stations, along with more of his stunning photography; more of which is provided by Tom St George as he dusts off his macro lens to explore the black sands of Dumaguete and Puerto Galera in the Philippines. We feature an extract from marine biologist and poet Fiona Gell's new book, Spring Tides, as she comes face-to-shell with ancient quahog; and Mark 'Crowley' Russell discusses why 'advanced' courses are not meant to be advanced, and why it's imperative that divers never stop learnin. Plus: book reviews, news, our latest marine curio and more. Buy your art-quality coffee-table print copy now from the magazine stands, or from our online store priced at £4.99*.
