Asian Diver is a bi-monthly consumer publication aimed at a wide
spectrum of scuba divers in Asia and the rest of the world. Readership includes recreational, professional, commercial as well as would-be
divers. Editorial contributions to the magazine are welcome.
Manuscripts
Manuscripts should be submitted in a PC-compatible format, preferably
in MS Word 2.0 or 6.0 in a 3 1/2" disk, together with a hard copy. Manuscripts requiring rekeying (faxed, mailed hard copy) are
unacceptable. Texts can also be sent to editor@asiandiver.com.
Generally, any article should not be longer than 1,500 words. Dive
location reports must include a 'Bearings' section which lists addresses, weather, travel and medical information, prices, best time to
dive, facilities for kids, accommodation, and other pertinent travel information. All articles should be accompanied by a short (30-40 word)
biography of the author.
Photography / Art
Photography is of paramount importance and should ideally accompany
any article. Pictures must be duly captioned and credited, with the necessary copyright releases.
Transparencies are preferred and these should be either originals or first-generation duplicates. Pictures for
location reports should include both underwater as well as topside
shots. We reserve the right to use pictures from other sources to
illustrate an article, if we deem those provided by the author to be unsuitable or insufficient. Maps of dive sites and places mentioned in an
article should be provided.
The Asian Diver cover is distinctive with its 'big blue' feel. It
should evoke a sense of the beauty and mystery of the sea.
Technically, it is a vertical silhouette or semi-silhouette shot with
a visible sunburst. Potential cover shots are those framed in such a way that the yellow Asian Diver masthead can be placed
across the top without interfering with the subject.
