Asian Diver is celebrating Asia's psychedelic seas in the "Colours of Asia" edition; exploring some of the most colourful dive sites in the world, investigating the reasons behind the Technicolor patters of the creatures that inhabit them, and visiting the Similan Islands where the underwater world looks like it's on steroids. But the oceans look very different if you're a fish, and Asian Diver has the science behind the real fish eye view. Get ready to dive into 2016 with a massive splash... of COLOUR!
We think that Asia Pacificâs diving really is the best in the world, and we have given you just 20 of the hundreds (thousands?) of examples that back up this bold claim. Weâve also put together a comprehensive list of dive operators that can get you out there to see all of this undersea wonder for your self.
And of course, weâve scoured the world of gear and gadgets to bring you the newest and best (read: most covet-worthy) equipment for 2015.
The next issue of ASIAN Geographic focuses on climate change. Our photographic showcase documents coastal communities in the Sundarbans, whose livelihoods are threatened by rising sea levels and increasing salinity. We trail a faction of Cambodian environmental vigilantes who are combatting illegal deforestation, examine the connection between climate change, food security and women farmers in Asia, walk with Borneoâs wildlife warriors in saving the orangutans, and follow a group of children salvaging pollution in Manila to make a living. We put meat under the knife in the carbon emissions discussion, and visit a small community of monks who are warding off the pushing tide in Thailand to save their sacred temple. Rather than looking at the effects of climate change in isolation, the issue also considers the possible solutions.
Themed spiritual pilgrimages, this issue of Passport takes you on various journeys that are at the heart of different faiths held by people around Asia. With stories that uncover spiritual practices and places across the continent and a six-page 2019 festival calendar to inspire your travels next year, this is an issue not to be missed!

In this issue, we examine the origins of everything in the way of the human condition - from evolution, to artistic expression, to the birth of monotheistic faith, and the violent beginnings of modern warfare. We also take a look at how scientific developments are challenging everything we thought we knew about the origins of life and civilisation.

In this issue, we unpack several health controversies and crises, from MSG to processed foods to the insect food revolution and diabetes. But itâs not all doom and gloom: The regionâs varied cuisine is an intangible part of its heritage. We pay homage to the enduring art of the longevity noodle â handmade and visually evocative. Asiaâs food culture is perhaps best summed up through the humble hawker, peddling the sheer diversity of this regionâs culinary innovation through their roadside food carts. But even the ubiquitous street food vendor faces an uncertain future, as regulators of hygiene standards and urban planning brandish eviction â or ârelocationâ â notices. Itâs time to eat smarter: to be more conscious of what we buy, how we waste, and what we ignore on that little label on the side of a can. Perhaps never before has this phrase been more weighty: "You are what you eat". Bon appĂŠtit!

There is nothing so pure as donning a simple pair of fins, snapping on a mask, and chomping down on a snorkel bit before a beach entry into a silvery turquoise lagoon. Freediving is like a first love, the one that taught us how to move through this three-dimensional world. Together we felt the wonder at the profound beauty of life but also learned that without respect, all is lost. In this issue, Asian Diver looks at the evolution of freediving through the centuries, from its beginnings more than 7, 000 years ago in ancient cultures such as the Chinchorro to its current status as one of the most popular underwater sports in the world.

Whether itâs the plastic trash that has made its way into the oceans from polluted rivers that now provides shelter for critters like octopuses, the artificial tyre reefs humans have created to attract marine wildlife that may be doing more harm than good, or the diminutive marine organisms like the algae shrimp and the âShaun the Sheepâ nudibranch that live on the algae found on the seabed â weâve pored over the minutiae of the muck and its inhabitants to understand what makes this type of diving so thrilling.
