ADVERTISERS BONUS

Dive Equipment Manufacturers:
Advertising with ADM provides much more than an advertisement on a single page. Paid advertisers have priority space over non-advertisers for new product listings. Advertisers also have priority for equipment articles and reviews with ADM along with receiving free banner space, links and new product information on ADM On-Line.

Dive Facilities, Resorts, and Liveaboards:
Along with the standard advertisement, ADM offers these location advertisers special editorial privileges such as a one time, three to five page color article on their local diving, hospitality and specialties.

Boards of Tourism:
ADM offers countries promoting dive resort tourism special editorial privileges in each issue contracted, such as a three to five page color article on their local diving, hospitality and specialties.

(ADM holds the right to approve or deny all materials for publication. Special editorial privileges only apply for those advertisers who contract a 2/3 page or larger ad space for 4 or more issues. Editorial content must coincide with the direction of Advanced Diver Magazine. ADM offers professional staff writers and photographers for assistance with editorial, graphics and photography.)

ADVERTISING RATES

ADVANCED DIVER Magazine (ADM) takes pride in its high-quality graphical illustrations, and professional writers, and photographers. ADM has limited its advertisement to editorial ratio to 70% editorial and 30% advertisement. To ensure this ratio, ADM will continue to grow by adding additional pages as advertisments increase. ADVANCED DIVER Magazine desires to work closely with your company by providing the link between your front door and the rest of the diving world.
