Video Tag Brings Scuba Diving & Sport Diver to Life

Video Tag Makes Scuba Diving Come to LifeScan the Tag at left with the Tag Reader app on your iPhone or Android-based phone, and watch bonus video instantly. Try it here to see how it works. Get the free app at http://gettag.mobi

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.



Kittiwake Heads for the Cayman Islands

Already one of the most popular dive destinations in the world, the Cayman Islands are set to become even stronger as they take delivery of the USS Kittiwake, a five deck, 2,200-ton submarine rescue ship. Due to be sunk in late July, the 251-foot-long Kittiwake will be purpose sunk on the north end of Grand Cayman's world famous Seven Mile Beach, and will join the MV Captain Keith Tibbetts — a Russian frigate sunk off the coast of Cayman Brac in 1996 — as shining examples of the Caymans' dedicated approach to developing artificial reefs that complement their magnificent natural reefs. "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."
