EDITORIAL
Ocean News & Technology (ON&T) magazine, born from the publication SUBNOTES, first published in July of 1981, is the only publication of its kind, reporting on the latest ocean industry news, events and technology developments around the world.
ON&T has an editorial theme for each issue, focusing on a major segment of the Ocean Industry. The magazine is presented in an easy to read format (concise articles with bold headings), emphasizing the visual via countless photographs and an unsparing use of color throughout. Our readers have told us again and again that it is the only magazine they read cover-to-cover. This bimonthly magazine focuses on the major business areas of the ocean industry. Regular features including sections on ocean industry briefs, defense, offshore, science, diving, marine industry, products, underwater vehicles, advanced underwater imaging, books and publications, people in the industry, and a calendar of shows and conferences. In every issue, several special ocean technology feature articles and a main cover story are presented on specific subject areas including diving, advanced vehicles, ships, imaging, communications, acoustics, recreational equipment, offshore operations, education and more. Our full color, cover and story photography is truly professional and exciting.

ON&T is one of the few publications that sell our front cover as advertising space. We do this so that any company of any size may have the opportunity to showcase their latest developments and receive due recognition from the industry. With only six covers per year, reservations are recommended early on.

Reprints can be made of your product featured in an article or on the cover with your ad on the back and cover story in the center two pages. Reprints make great mail outs or hand outs at trade shows. Each reprint is four pages and four color and features the story inside and the front and back cover outside.
