Autumn 2026 print magazine

Our Autumn '26 magazine is here! In this quarter's magazine, marine biologist and photographer Bella Zandoná visits Mexico's Sinaloa to dive with the local sea lions and finds there's so much more to the state than just headlines; writer and marine biologist Rachel Plunkett describes why Bonaire is one of the Caribbean's most important turtle habitats; award-winning photographer Jenny Stock reports from a week on board the Roatán Aggressor - and also details some of the techniques she uses to get closer to her underwater subjects - and Mark 'Crowley' Russell visits Belize to find out how it's putting conservation ahead of development. We also have an extract from the brilliant new book Wild Orcas, and of course the winners of our Big Shot Manmade underwater photography competition!
