Dtmag (Dive Training Magazine) Review

Depends

Should I use Dtmag (Dive Training Magazine)?

Diving's education-based magazine - dtmag.com

· 21 hours ago

Buy it only if you (or a giftee) are an active scuba diver who wants education-focused articles — dive forums have recommended it since 2005. If you are evaluating software, skip it: this is a bi-monthly print magazine with no tool features.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 9 public sources: the magazine's own pages plus dive-community forums. No software reviews exist because this is a consumer magazine.
