Wreck Diving Magazine is now in our 5th year of publication and is the only serious magazine for today’s divers. Proud to be the recipient of the Eurotek “Publication of the Year”, WDM has featured over 200 shipwrecks from all over the world. Our articles are well researched, and written by wreck divers for wreck divers.
When new, large, never-before seen sections of Titanic’s hull were found, we were there!
When recent gold artifacts and pearls were found on the Spanish treasure ship, Santa Margarita, we were there!

Wreck Diving Magazine is in its 7th year of publication and has already covered more shipwrecks than any other magazine previous, because that’s all we do. From fresh water to salt, from shallow recreational depths, to extreme technical dives, we feature them. WDM has writers from all over the world contributing to our magazine. These are divers that simply decide to write about a wreck, these are truly dedicated wreck divers that write and photograph what they are passionate about. A brief list of some of our writers include:
John Chatterton, subject of the book Shadow Divers and the book Titanic’s Last Secrets.
Richie Kohler, subject of the book Shadow Divers and the book Titanic’s Last Secrets.
Cris Kohl, author of more than 11 books focusing on Great Lakes shipwreck diving.
Sir Robert Marx, treasure finder and author of over 60 related books.
Leigh Bishop, renowned deep wreck diver, historian and photographer
David Trotter, Great Lakes shipwreck hunter and subject of Shipwreck Hunter.
And many, many more.
