How to Read or Subscribe to Wreck Diving Magazine

Wreck Diving Magazine is available in two formats: a print edition sold on newsstands and by subscription, and a digital edition delivered through Zinio.com. The site currently promotes Issue 46 as "on news stands now," and the digital version is described as carrying the same material as print plus video, audio, and live links, readable on iPad, desktop, and laptop. To start a subscription, use the "Subscribe Today" link on the site; the page itself does not list prices or plan details, so the subscription page is where you'll need to confirm cost and terms.

What the site says about each format

The site does not publish subscription prices, issue frequency, or whether a digital subscription is bundled with print. Treat those as things to check on the subscription or Zinio checkout page rather than assumptions.

Steps to get reading

1. Decide print or digital. If you want the physical magazine, go the subscription route. If you want searchable, linked content with embedded media, the Zinio digital edition is the fit.
2. For print: open the site and follow the "Subscribe Today" link to reach the subscription entry point. Enter your details there and confirm the price and delivery terms shown at checkout.
3. For digital: go to zinio.com and search for Wreck Diving Magazine, or follow the site's digital-edition link. Zinio handles account creation and purchase; you'll read through the Zinio app or web reader on iPad, desktop, or laptop.
4. Verify access. After purchase, confirm the current issue (Issue 46 at the time of the site's listing) appears in your Zinio library or arrives in print. If it doesn't, check the account email used at checkout first.

What you'll find inside, beyond the subscription

The magazine's content centers on wreck diving destinations and history, which helps you judge whether a subscription matches your interests. Promoted features include:

• Drain the Oceans — a behind-the-scenes look at the National Geographic TV series
• President Coolidge — the world's largest wreck divable from shore, marking its 75th anniversary
• SS Pommerania — the ship whose captain went down after helping passengers to safety
• Dreadnoughts — the battleship that made earlier battleships obsolete
• The "Dunkirk Schooner" — an intact 1700s two-masted schooner upright in Lake Erie
• Truk Lagoon — ghost ships of one of the great undersea wonders
• The Russia — a 110-year-old Great Lakes shipwreck mystery solved
• Sweden's Oland Island and The Emperor of Isle Royale in Lake Superior

The site also notes the publication was voted "Best Publication" by the Eurotek Dive Symposium and the California Wreck Divers Club, and that it received a California Wreck Divers Hall of Fame award.

Related ways to engage

Beyond the magazine, the site points to the Shipwreck Exploration Society (SES) , described as a non-profit 501(c)(3) created to fund exploration, with a current project to locate a B-17 lost off Germany in WWII. The site directs readers to "Latest News" or ShipwreckExplorationSociety.org for club details and donations. There is also a contact phone number listed (864-414-1931) and mention of a completed Wreck-Week event in Morehead City, North Carolina, with photos on the site.

Common snags

• No price on the landing page. Don't assume the magazine is free or that digital access is included with print; confirm on the subscription or Zinio checkout page.
• Two separate purchase paths. Print subscriptions and Zinio digital purchases are handled in different places, so a print order won't automatically create a Zinio library entry.
• Issue availability. The site promotes Issue 46 as current; if you're reading this later, check which issue the subscription starts with before paying.
