About
ScubaGadget brings you a Scuba News, information on Equipment, Tips, Trips and Topics about the everything related to diving. Our mission is to excel in amongst the sea of both other print scuba magazines and scuba blogs. We research and write interesting articles that will help you cut through the sales hype and make sound decisions about what gear you buy, where you travel to dive and help you learn more about scuba.
Other online scuba magazines and blog sites practice copy-paste-publish (CPP) with PR fluff from the vendors and news feeds from other newpapers. This is any easy way to show quantity. Before we publish anything we research, make calls, ask tough questions, test products and services, and find out what others are saying about the topic.
Many print scuba journls print the pros but shy from the cons when reviewing equipment and dive resorts and charters. Like this is because fo fear of offending advertisers. Our goal is to write reviews that include both the good and the bad; and that help you decide if the product, vendor or venue is the best choice for you.
As an online journal we can and do easily update stories and feature reader and vendor comments to assure you are getting a full and balanced picture.
A few companies have been served by myths that propagate throughout the scuba world. Other companies are served by anti-competitive policies that hurt the dive consumer and stifle competition. We see our job as “mythbusters” in these areas. We believe that informed scuba consumers will make good buying decisions which will untimately advance scuba for us all.
We have already found that our stories have made a difference in the scuba industry. Major and minor scuba vendors have made positive policy and other changes in response to articles on ScubaGadget.
Tell your friends! With your help we will become the most widely read a respected Scuba News in the world.
