Hmmm, lets see, in my left hand I have the June 1996 Undercurrent. And in 
my right hand I have the June 1996 In Depth. They appear to be separate 
and un-merged, unless I missed your meaning.

I never doubted their accuracy, I just thought that from the way they 
marketed their subscriptions they would be more gear orientated. But, it 
*is* fun to read about dive trips which would cost me and the missus 
$5-8000 a trip, which is a little out of my range at the moment.
