Hints: Read the magazine first so you will know how we differ from other scuba diving magazines. We have theme-oriented issues so good story queries sometimes will be put on a backburner until an appropriate issue theme turns up in our editorial calendar. We're always looking for good destination stories and profiles of persons who have made substantial contributions to diving.
Photos/Art: We rarely use stand-alone photos. We prefer to get them as part of a story/photo package.
