InDEPTH Staffs Up in Bid for World Domination

June 2022—Now in its fourth year of operation, InDEPTH, the only magazine today, dedicated to technical and mission-oriented diving, has doubled its staff in its efforts to deepen and extend its coverage and content of the underwater world. Hosted by the impassioned divers at Global Underwater Explorers (GUE) as an offering to the global tech community, the goal of the spirited publication is simple: benevolent world domination! 

“We want to be the #1 must-read, global publication for tech, cave, breath-hold and other mission-oriented divers,” said co-founder and editor-in-chief Michael Menduno/M2, who founded and produced the now defunct aquaCORPS Journal (1990-1996), which helped usher technical diving into the mainstream. Each issue of InDEPTH takes a deep dive into topics like exploration, diving safety and human factors, diving physiology, technology and equipment, training, community, conservation, art and culture and diving history. They’re sponsored by some of the best brands on the planet!

According to Menduno, aka M2, this mix first media outlet has added four professionals to its team to help produce InDEPTH each month, an act which he describes as a labor of love and or narcosis. New to the InDEPTH team are:

• Seattle-based business and technology journalist Ashley Stewart who serves as Managing Editor.

• Artist, author, award winning photographer, and former CMAS course director Rico Besserdich as Production Director.

• Graphic artist, designer and award-winning underground photojournalist SJ Alice Bennett as Art Director.

• Principle of the Business Diving Institute Darcy Kieran who serves as InDEPTH’s survey meister. 

Pat Jablonski, author, writing instructor and tutor, and editor will remain as Manager of Copy Editing, as will copy editors Nic Haylett and Katy Taber-Olensky, and production assistant Kenzie Potter. Their bios and contact info can be found here: About Us. 

InDEPTH posts the first Thursday of every month. Subscriptions to the geeky tech tome are FREE! 

InDEPTH subscribers receive a weekly email with new stories and content, written by some of the leading explorers, scientists, engineers, educators, hyperbaric docs, conservationists and divers on this water planet. “We want to be go-to source for the people who can’t keep away from this stuff—water tribe people. I think of it as aquaCORPS for the 21^st century.” Menduno said. Interested divers can subscribe on the site.
