“How nice the luxury, to argue about rights of the
unborn, beginning of life, moment of death, all
those sophisticated discussions. Empty talkers…
But no such luxury here. Should be a rule:
Walk, first, through the fire, then philosophize…”
— Rohinton Mistry, Family Matters

Welcome to our special edition of ASIAN Geographic + Scuba Diver! This
issue will appeal to divers and non-divers alike, encapsulating many a myth,
legend, and folk tale across the land and sea.
As an English Literature major, stories hold a special place in my heart, and
this issue has attempted to combine the different methods of storytelling
to show that these narratives are all around us. Our ASIAN Geographic Fire
edition also features the significance of the element and how it is celebrated
across the continent, from antiquity to the modern age. Scuba Diver will
creep you out with mythical creatures of the undersea world and their
existent counterparts, as well as whet your appetite with our feature on
eating your way through different dive destinations. Finally, our special on
Virus + Diving highlights the current plight of the industry, as well as what
measures and initiatives are being undertaken to combat this adversity.
As my favourite author, Rohinton Mistry, puts it, let us “walk, first, through
the fire, then philosophize…” So put on your thinking caps and enter the
unknown, then bask in the sometimes strange, wide world we call home.
