As a photographer and diver it offers me so much more. I actually read most of the medical articles now too, which I didn't before. Don't go backwards, keep the new mix. I LOVE the new magazine.

The mission is why I have supported DAN for years - I will continue to do so until I SEE that there has been a dilution of that mission. Meantime - I await the new mag with anticipation - it's a class act. If I can have both worlds, I'll be a enthusiastic supporter.

They did respond or publish either one although the errors were obvious. That is not appropriate behavior. it is my favorite scuba magazine however.

In our offices the DAN mission is very much alive and very much a part of our every day work, so feed back is always useful. And although the above mentioned article does not necessarily apply to our leg of the organisation it certainly is taken into consideration, however we are quite tiny by comparison to DAN USA our much bigger brother. However there are various Alert Divers by various DAN organisations around the world, and I would like to invite you to ready our online version - it however related to our area, but if you enjoy the US version or even dont perhaps this will be more up your alley. www.dansa.org - Under magazines, please be patient we are fairly new at doing our magazines, and we only do 2 a year unlike the US version. All the best and safe diving. Dear All,

I am an avid reader. Over the years I have seen many dive magazines come and go. All of my family are divers and members of DAM. all of us and joined because we believe in the DAN mission. However until Mr. Frink took over Alert Diver it was just another informational "also ran". It is now with out a doubt, a true quality publication. It still prints appropriate technical information and is still a technical journal. However the artistic format and presentation is simply first rate. It is now a cover to cover read!! With out a doubt it will bring new diver to our sport. I have been diving since 1959. I am an avid reader. Over the years I have seen many dive magazines come and go.
