Spring '23 Magazine

Our Spring '23 magazine is all about thinking big - and we have some great stories for you in this issue! Mark 'Crowley' Russell talks to Marine Megafauna Foundation co-founders Dr Andrea Marshall and Dr Simon Pierce about the effort that needs to be put in to make sustainability work, and has a chat with Sharm El Sheikh's Dr Adel Taher about the early days of scuba diving in Egypt, with an extract from his book, Let There Be a Red Sea. We revisit Curaçao with expert photographer Valentina Cucchiara; take a tour around Northern Diver's Lancashire home; investigate the wonders of seagrass - and the threats it faces - with Lewis Jefferies & Dr Richard Lilley; expert freediving instructor Emma Farrell teaches us the secrets of better breathing; and Timo Dersch takes us to the end of the world in the volcanic sands of El Hierro. Plus our much-loved Big Shot photo competition is back! Buy your copy now or subscribe in print & digital from just £22.99* to make sure you don't miss out!
