Our first issue, 1975 to our last, Summer 2023
After 48 years DIVER has ceased publishing, the current issue will be our last. We will also be closing the digital edition and website in the coming weeks and months.
Since the passing of DIVER’s publisher and owner Phil Nuytten earlier this year, some decisions had to be made regarding DIVER’s future and it seems appropriate to us to end with his tribute issue. This was not a quick or easy decision to make.
DIVER has been published for an incredible 48 years. That is an enormous feat of endurance in publishing. Few magazines have this longevity ..read more

Phil Nuytten, 1965
I am here to give you an uplifting and inspiring message, using examples from my own work. I think we’ll give the examples a pass, since they won’t be of much value to you, unless you’re planning to build a submarine or become deep-sea diving accountants, or something of that nature.
The old hard-hat divers—you know, the guys with the big copper helmets and the air hoses—had a terse way of summing up thei ..read more

If you’re the kind of diver that grabs whatever sunscreen they have in the store without further thought, think again.
There are several reasons why you should be careful about your choice of sunscreen on your next dive vacation. Let’s start with the obvious: You’ll want to consider the SPF rating (anything above SPF 30 is recommended). You’ll want to make sure you have a sunscreen that offers broad spectrum protection, (i.e. against all of the sun’s harmful UV rays). If you’re going in the water, you’ll want to be confident that it is water resistant too, naturally.
Sunscreens come in ..read more

The lake was as still as glass as I led team members Charlotte Pilon-McCullough and Jill Heinerth down the shot line, which was disappearing into the darkness below. It felt like I was sinking forever when a cold shiver ran down my spine thinking about that fateful accident that led to this moment.
That night
September 1, 1921, was a c ..read more
