CDNN is a public service, global non-profit conservation activist and consumer advocate that partners with educators, scientists, environmentalists, publishers and the general public to disseminate information aimed at protecting marine wildlife and submerged cultural resources, enhancing public safety, and empowering dive consumers with authoritative, accurate, hype-free information about scuba diving products and services.

Renowned for in-depth news coverage, independent no-nonsense reviews, and a unique perspective you won't find anywhere else, CDNN is the foundation of the news-driven Cyber Diver Digital Media Network, which is comprised of eight popular scuba portal sites and over 14,000 information-rich pages that cover everything from dive travel and scuba equipment to marine conservation and diver safety issues.

No other scuba-related site so effectively transcends dive industry hype to provide you with free, immediate and direct access to reliable, news-based information that complies with journalistic standards of integrity you really can trust.

Of course, there is a place for ad-driven scuba diving magazines and their online counterparts, but how much integrity can we expect from publishing enterprises that blatantly pander to advertising contributors?

How much objectivity can we expect from "old media" print magazines that make money "rediscovering" the same overcrowded dive destinations and the same high-volume dive operators who buy the big ads?

How much honesty can we expect from online scuba portal sites and scuba message boards controlled by dive industry insiders who repeatedly censor honest, objective, critical reviews that might offend clients and alienate potential new advertisers?

Our philosophy is entirely different.

We believe that before you put a substantial dent in your bank account for an expensive dive trip or scuba diving equipment, you deserve to know the truth about what you're paying for.  We promise to tell you the facts, the positive AND THE NEGATIVE, and let you decide which scuba diving product or service is right for you.

CDNN's award-winning news reports, editorials and features are made possible, in part, by sponsor companies that are confident the facts will show their products and services are safe, enjoyable and environmentally responsible.

We are grateful for sponsor support, we enthusiastically promote the unique and deserving companies that support our work on behalf of marine conservation and dive safety, and we are justifiably proud of our comprehensive, cutting edge marketing solutions and state-of-the-art news-based promotion that give our sponsors the most credible, cost-effective and powerful promotional tools available to the dive industry.

Your knowledge and experience are another invaluable part of the information we provide to the global scuba diving community.  You can contribute directly to the Cyber Diver Digital Media Network with our interactive channels, opinion polls and monitored forums that enable readers to focus on specific issues covered in CDNN news reports.  We believe SCUBA POLL and SCUBA FORUM work far better for our readers than news groups and industry-controlled scuba message boards that are drowning in hostility, profanity, off-topic posts and crude, anonymous, owner-centric testimonial SPAM. 

If you're looking for an honest, independent and authoritative source of cutting edge information about scuba diving, dive into CDNN.  Better yet, get the in-depth advantage with IN DEPTH, the world's first and still leading consumer advocate for divers and the world's only 100% ad-free scuba publication.

Yes, the information in CDNN is detailed and comprehensive, however, for about the same price of a subscription to a scuba diving magazine with page after page of insipid marketing hype, IN DEPTH brings you independent, consumer-first, ad-free information that aims to help you avoid nasty surprises and get exactly what you want when you plunk down your hard-earned cash for a dive travel holiday, diver training course or scuba diving equipment.
