Northwest Dive News, the Pacific Northwest’s Scuba Diving Magazine, in its ninth year, is creating a sense of community and an atmosphere of success within the Northwest diving population while helping to expand the sport. NWDN Publisher, Rick Stratton, says "Our mission is to promote our sport. We do that by producing a quality magazine divers want to read and distributing to divers and non-diver throughout the Pacific Northwest."
