X - Ray Mag #18 just became available for download and as usual it brought me back to the website as every time.
I guess you have to differenciate a little between the downloadable magazine and the actual website.
The mag is very professionally produced, interesting etc. and beats many of the print competitors. best of all - it is free!!! I also have to mention the fact that it is repetition free, means you don't have to expect in every other edition another article about cancun, caymans, bonaire and the usual candidates in a slightly different form!!! If you need that, you better go with some of the well known print mags.

As for the actual website, you find what you would expect and some more. The to be expected downloads of the magazine (very nice - all back issues are available), an archive, advertising and media kit (hey - its a very professional mag you get - the guys have to make some money somewhere...I guess) and more.
Anyway, the layout is a little to crowded for my taste - it could be worse. Beside links for X - Ray Mag you will find a a mix of diving related news and advertising (again to much to make me smile, but you have to admit - its the lesser problem of see links to sponsors or pay $5 + for a mag. So, ok - I can accept it.
Some nice columns and interviews going on as well.... as I said, pretty nice - now clean it up and it will be great!

Same is to say for this site (divepro-info.com), it looks a little more organized, but it could use a lot more work.

Anyway, thumbs up!
