Article Summary:

Professional photographer and friend Walt Stearns has recently announced the launch of the brand-new Underwater Journal (UWJ) webzine.  Issue 1 of UWJ is available for immediate download in PDF form, and it’s completely free!

Underwater Journal (UWJ) is a celebration of all things aquatic - from the leading edge of ocean exploration and research to the simple pleasures of immersing oneself weightlessly in the liquid environment that covers three fourths of our world. 

The water is our playground, so we invite readers to take the plunge. Those new to the sport can take in real-world wisdom gleaned from decades of diving in locales near and far. Veterans will appreciate UWJ’s factual,  realistic coverage of destinations, equipment and techniques rarely addressed in the entry-level and agency-biased print products. And even those who are not yet divers will find much to enjoy, as our coverage extends not only to the recreational aspects of sport diving, but to a myriad of fascinating subjects spanning every facet of the ocean realm.
