Open Dive Sites

Love seeing my work next to

"Research" trip

It's here! Look for it this week at Aquarius Dive Shop, Monterey Bay Scuba, Pacific Scuba Divers, Diver Dan's and Marin Diving Center. The new issue has new text, revised Field Guide and a special page for diving with sea otters.

Diving Monterey Atlas by Andrew Middleton — The Map Center The definitive guide to enjoying the Monterey Peninsula under the waves. Snorkelers, free divers and scuba divers alike will find full page, full color maps of all the best dive sites with text descriptions, parking information and field guide. First released in 2021 and reprinted three times since,

750 copies sold and this is all that's left unclaimed. I'd love to get the last couple of batches into the hands of some new shops- hit me up of if you have any leads. I'll probably do a second printing in December so let me know if I missed or need to update anything before I go back to the printers.

Thanks everyone for your enthusiasm- it's been so much fun to do all this with you all. Drop a comment if you used any of these maps to go someplace new or see something you otherwise would have missed!

January’s speaker: Andrew Middleton - Mapping Monterey. 7pm Friday via Zoom. Andrew has been making maps of the seafloor around Monterey since 2016 and he released his first atlas this year. So how do cartographers like Andrew make maps in the 21st century and why is it so difficult on Earth's last frontier? Andrew will talk about the history of marine geography, transoceanic cables, tectonic plates and the cutting edge of satellites and remote sensing that help us explore in new, drier ways. Andrew Middleton is a cartographer and Geospatial Information Systems specialist with ten years of experience making maps. He's also an Advanced Open Water and former Reefcheck diver who is thoroughly in love with diving in Monterey. Self publishing "Diving Monterey: an Atlas" was only a matter of time.
When he's not making maps or teaching GIS, he flies kites, writes and cohosts the podcast Measure for Measure. He lives in Oakland.
