Welcome to EZDIVE #100!
Since our launch in 2006 EZDIVE has published a grand total of 100 issues. What a wonderful journey it has been from the publication of our first issue until today. We are also excited that being ‘100’ came with a new year.
To coincide, freediver Harry shares his dive journey to reach 100m on a single breath, plus we’ve invited our contributing writers to share their favourite dive spots for a map.
And, of course, there’s always our destination features for inspiration. Want to get up close and personal with a grey seal? Follow Richard to the Farne Islands. Then we turn to Asia as Brooke takes us to the Raja Ampat, often dubbed “the last paradise on Earth”; and Beth and Shaun’s first dive trip since the outbreak is to the Maldives. Speaking of the Maldives, Reefscapers are using their hand-made coral frames to rehabilitate the coral there in the hope that future generations will be able to see the beauty of the reefs for themselves.
In 2023, let EZDIVE continue to bring you more exciting and adventurous dive experiences on paper.
