Subject: DIVE Magazine - early Black Friday deals, tiger shark cartographers, 23,000 giant mantas and more!

Giant population of giants

The giant oceanic manta is the largest of rays, but they are pelagic creatures and consequently not easy to get hold of when you need them. However, a new study has found more than 22,000 of them hanging about off the coast of Ecuador.

Map-making tiger sharks

The largest blue carbon seagrass meadow in the world has been carefully mapped in The Bahamas by the local tiger sharks - with scientists providing a little help to attach the camera tags (difficult with fins and no opposing thumbs).

MPAs must follow their residents

It's one thing telling people not to interfere with a particular region of the ocean, but it's another thing trying to tell the resident marine life to stay there. Warming oceans mean that many species are on the move and may be straying into dangerous waters, so MPAs need to move with the marine life, if the marine life won't move to the MPAs.

Protect our sharks!

PADI has been invited to this year's CITES meeting to represent the dive industry on behalf of the sharks and rays so urgently in need of protection. All ocean lovers are called on to sign a petition to persuade government attendees to prohibit the trade in meat and fins of many more species of shark.

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*.
