Sadly, this is not an April Fool's post. It's only January.
AOL, Divester's parent company, has decided to retire several of its smaller, less profitable long-running blogs at the end of the month. Unfortunately, Divester is one of those blogs.
I want to say thanks to everyone who reads Divester regularly and who has helped make it the best recreational dive blog on the Web, as well as the preeminent centralized, generalized news source for the dive community. In addition to the readers, I also want to thank my buddies here on Divester for working so hard with me.
So where are Divester's writers heading next? We'll let you know on January 31. In the meantime, please keep reading. There's still more good stuff coming!
21. Like all the others, we are very sad to see Divester go. While the likes of us crash away at keyboards for years to produce the occassional dive book there is no way we can keep track of instant trends and news in the way a blog does. Willy and the team have done a great job in that area and have been a huge support to us (and many others). So many thanks and we look forward to seeing you continue the good work - somewhere.... someplace....
