There's more to May issue's of Scuba Diving and Sport Diver than meets the eye. High-capacity color barcodes, or Tags, are attached to select articles throughout the issues featuring bonus video content to enhance the readers' experience. They scan the Tag using a free app for their smart phone to see the content instantly. This technology is also helping advertisers reach out to the magazine's readers with an extended digital message, such as a video or web link. Henderson used a Tag in its full-page ad in Sport Diver to link back to a 60-second ScubaLab video on the new H2 wetsuit. With plans to expand the use of these Tags to more stories and advertisements in future issues, it's just one more way the Bonnier Dive Group is bringing the sport to life.

"Being both a dive and snorkel attraction, it will be opened as a new tour for both stay-over and cruise visitors later on this year," said Steve Broadbelt, President of the Cayman Islands Tourism Association. "It's the single biggest project for the water sports industry since Stingray City." » Read more at caymanislands.ky New Nonstop Service to Grenada To keep pace with Grenada's massive tourism expansion — including the Port Louis Marine and Creole Village, and the Morne Longue Fedon Camp eco-tourism attraction — Delta Airlines announced a new nonstop service to the Caribbean island.
