As far as legends go, this issue was both difficult and easy to put together. The list was very long, because there were so many we wanted to acknowledge and honour. This issue is an homage to my sister, the visionaries who revolutionised and shaped the industry, and the nameless warriors who work tirelessly and relentlessly, despite the absence of accolades, and who have taken giant strides to learn more, do more, and be more dedicated in protecting our oceans, our life source.

ADEX's efforts have centred on educating new divers to become role models, appointing ambassadors to inspire change, and inviting industry leaders to spotlight issues like
endangered marine species, climate change, and marine plastic pollution. The ultimate goal is to build a forward-thinking, action-oriented community dedicated to sustainability. In this issue, the highlight is on the North Pacific offerings.

The sea ice is melting, the permafrost is thawing, and habitats are shrinking for the animals that thrive in the cold. The scariest prediction scientists are making is the Arctic could be ice-free in the summer by 2040. That's in our lifetime, people. Let that sink in....
The rest of us are left with hope. And there is a growing community that has undertaken the work to educate, influence change, and be a force for the progress of humanity....

Macro Mania
There’s something fascinating about seeing the underwater world up close, in all its glorious detail. Looking at images that bring out the colours, texture and detail of an animal in a single frame is in itself very compelling.

If you could do 101 iconic dives in your life, what would they be? These are the ultimate must-do dives for any diveaholic! We will give you the lowdown on how you get there, what to expect and what you’ll see, and let these stunning images lure you into booking that trip! We are an ocean planet, after all.

What do 101 award-winning photographs tell you, keeping in mind the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words? Will we take away 101,000 superlatives and emotions from this issue of Scuba Diver OCEAN PLANET?.....I hope you enjoy this issue and it inspires you. May it evoke a moment of reflection: Perhaps there are some images that you could have taken, but you didn’t; perhaps some are similar to your own, but you never deemed the subject worthy of a photography competition? To value what we see and experience around us is a gift....

This issue of Scuba Diver ‘What It Feels Like?’ will focus on personal experiences from divers over the world.

From speaker portfolios to top products, gears and equipment on sale, this Diveaholic Magazine will be the ultimate diver’s bible on anything and everything diving.

I met Ernie at the DEMA Show in Las Vegas in 2012. We talked about our many shared interests: art, the ocean, conservation. He has inspired me since that day, with his passion, his insights and his incomparable art. Like so many others who had the opportunity to hear him speak, I was drawn to this wise, warmhearted gentleman, and I was extremely touched by how he gave back to the ocean.
He told me that everyone is connected to the ocean, and he was very keen to be a part of what we do in Asia. He enthusiastically agreed to be a guest of honour at
ADEX 2013, as well as accepting an appointment to the advisory board of the Historical Diving Society (Asia). He would come back for our event in Singapore for
many years. In 2018, ADEX was dedicated to sharks, and he graciously allowed us to use one of his most iconic shark images (which you’ll find on the cover and in the pages of this magazine). That same year, the last year he came to the show, we honoured Ernie as an ADEX Ambassador (Emeritus). While he had no intention to teach, Ernie was my mentor. His passion and his love for the ocean have been my inspiration, guiding me in my way of thinking until today. He will always remain close to my heart, and he will continue to inspire me as he has inspired so many underwater photographers from around the world. Thus, this edition is our collective tribute to Ernie, our celebration of his life and work, communicated
through the dedications and images of underwater photographers who have been touched by this great man. Thank you Ernie. We will miss you.

With an overabundance of unexplored caves, karsts and lengthy
underground rivers; seas littered with the remains of mysterious vessels
that, over the centuries, have fallen victim to storm, piracy and war;
deep ocean basins and drop-offs, and reefs that teem with exotic life
forms, Asia’s growing reputation as a diving destination without
equal – one that’s rich in exploration opportunities – is well deserved.

Appealing to both divers and non-divers alike, this issue encapsulates the many myths and legends across the seas. Get spooked by mythical creatures of the undersea and their existent counterparts, as well as whet your appetite with our feature on eating your way through the different dive destinations. Our special on Virus + Diving will also highlight the current plight of the industry, as well as what measures and initiatives are being undertaken to combat this adversity.

Plunging from a world of land and sky, filtered light beneath the surface is made placid in the depths. But what if you can see each layer, all put together? This is the beauty of split shots, encapsulated in this issue through renowned photographers who are excellent in their craft.

We then go for a Dip in Darkwaters and emerge to celebrate the winners of the Voice of the Ocean Competition 2019.

The ocean constitutes over 90 percent of habitable space on the planet. By the year 2100, without significant changes, more than half of the world’s marine species may be on the brink of extinction.
