Want to Be One of Our Bloggers?

Have an opinion about the scuba industry, ocean conservation or some other aspect of diving ? Can you express it well, and on a regular basis? If you think you have something of interest to say to our readers regularly, I'd be happy to consider it as a blog for our website.

If you haven't read our blog yet, or recently, check out the latest posts by the best of the best in the diving world ( www.undercurrent.org/blog ). John Bantin wrote about the uproar one of his photos made in his latest blog post, "Bikini Protest" (see the "offensive photo" on page 16 of this issue). Maurine Shimlock and Burt Jones described two Indonesia dive trips in their blog post "In the Name of Science," in which divers identified 200 fish and discovered three new fish species. Bret Gilliam tells a great tale about the challenging assignment a U.S. navy officer gave his dive team in "Filming Navy Subs and Zen Meditation in the Deep."

If you can write blog posts that are as insightful and humorous as theirs, then I want you. I'd like blog posts that are informative, intelligently written, deal with controversial and unusual topics and are of interest to experienced divers, a.k.a. Undercurrent readers. E-mail me at bendavison@undercurrent.org with a sample blog that you think would be a good fit, I'll read it and get back to you directly about blogging opportunities.
