For more than 21 years, John Bantin wrote for Diver Magazine. His articles were about diving experiences at diving destinations, diving techniques, his famous equipment tests and reviews, and even simple opinion pieces. His vast library of underwater pictures served not only to illustrate his own work but that of many others. He never shied away from saying what he thought even if it might be controversial. He always believed in engaging the reader emotionally even if it meant making them angry. He certainly made food for thought. Now he's promised to write a regular weekly blog for Mike's Dive Store. It will always be informative, entertaining and often thought provoking. We might even, one day, persuade him to tell us the back-story on why he walked away from what was apparently the best diving job in the world.
