Hi,

I recently received a free copy of DeepTech Journal in the mail and
feel that since you were nice enough to send me a copy I would in turn
take the time to send you a letter explaining why I don't plan to subscribe
at this time.

From what I have seen, DeepTech Journal appears to be well written
and well laid out. It does not suffer from the excesses that Aqua
Corp has fallen prey to in recent issues. All in all, DeepTech Journal
appears to be a high quality publication. 

The problem is, when one is paying a premium price for a specialty
magazine that magazine should contain leading edge information that is
not available from other sources. I am not a technical diver yet my
reading on the subject both in books and on the net has already gained 
me insight and knowledge that in general goes beyond what I read in 
your magazine. I would rate DeepTech Journal as a publication written
for recreational divers who might be tech diver wannabes. I would not
rate it as a publication for technical divers or even advanced divers
such as myself who want an in depth understanding of the technology,
techniques and physics of advanced and technical diving. I think that
for $9-10 an issue a publication should provide truly leading edge
information that is unavailable elsewhere. I have not seen this in
the issue of DeepTech Journal that was sent to me.

I wish you the best in your endevor and if DeepTech Journal addresses
the issues I cited I will be happy to reconsider and possibly subscribe.
If you should have any specific questions in regards to this matter
please feel free to contact me via email.

Sincerely,

Eric Marsh
