Diving is a sexy sport. Diving is exciting and for the most part its participants (male and female) are more attractive because they are the outdoor types, vibrant, and in love with life. Young or old divers have a natural glow about them.

But diving is not sexual. Scantily clad (or in some cases, almost naked) photo exposes of women in slivers of fabric that have little or nothing to do with diving have no business in the dive media. Photos of half naked women in attempts to titillate my interest in diving insults my intelligence as a heterosexual man and I know it offends most women. If you want to see half or fully naked women or men, go online, or purchase the magazines that specialize in such bill of fare. It has no business in a dive magazine.

If the articles show attractive individuals (both men and women) enjoying their pastime of diving, great. These people are often sexy. Sexiness in dive journals must be first, diving related and second, equal to both men and women.
