Diving really is an everyman activity. Whether
you are a multimillionaire or an impoverished
student, once you slide beneath the sea,
the view is the same. We all see beauty and
wonder, Nature in its unfettered glory, that
takes our bottled breath away. If your wallet is
bulging or somewhat flat, our handy “Budget
and Luxury” feature, starting on page 65,
delivers some excellent ideas for your next
diving holiday.
This 128-page issue is jam-packed with
travel options, destinations and stunning
photography. We also have some exciting new
sections. Make sure you always Travel in Style
