3rd edition of Diving the World by Beth and Shaun Tierney to be published
Every diver has a personal hit list of must-see marine creatures and must-dive destinations. Footprint’s Diving the World is the perfect resource for those who want inspiration for that next dive trip – and help deciding which ones to explore first and which dream will have to wait for another year. It is the ideal guide for both experienced and novice divers, those who want to be more adventurous and explore up-and-coming sites, and even divers-to-be.
The third edition of Diving the World, written by expert photo-journalist team Beth & Shaun Tierney, has been revised and updated to reflect the shifts in the dynamic dive travel industry, incorporating several new destinations. Featuring all a diver needs to know about some of the most magnificent dive sites in the world, it is about more than just technicalities, with spectacular and inspirational underwater photography throughout.
Covering the essentials and the practicalities of each destination as well as a brief on the location, a summary of the dive sites and a wealth of information on marine biodiversity, this unique fusion of diving and travel also includes suggestions on what to do on land on ‘drying out’ days.
A digital version of this title will also be available from all the major eBook retailers.
The authors, Beth and Shaun Tierney, were first inspired to dive during a round-the-world trip in the late 80s. They have now been diving for over 25 years, and together they form SeaFocus, a photo-journalist team with PADI Master Scuba Dive qualifications. They also run an information and image-based resource for scuba divers with an ever-growing gallery of underwater photos and videos from well-known scuba diving holiday destinations across the world along with marine species galleries and information files.

Dive Worldwide Announces Bite-Back as its Charity of the Year
Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
