The monthly newsletter reports "unbiased" reviews of dive sites, including
live-aboards. Also published are features on aspects of diving and reviews
of dive gear, e.g., accessories for better diving, rebreathers, etc.  No
advertising of the type usually seen in magazines appears in the
newsletter. However, the company does sell it's own line of books and
occasional dive trips under its own name.

About a third of the copy is Letters to the Editor and annually is
published a compendium of live-aboards based on readers' reviews.  I have
subscribed for about a year and find the readers' comments of most
interest to me.  If you are going to pony up for a live-aboard or dive
specialty resort, it's probably worth finding out what other divers say
about the place. This is one place to find those comments.  I have never
seen a "tech" dive site reviewed, say the Doria or even some of the wrecks
in the Caribbean. Very few US dive operations are reviewed. Most
restaurant reviewers go incognito. I may be wrong, but I get the
impression that when Undercurrent goes, the dive operator knows and may
put on a special effort.
