Editorial Policy

Skaftourism covers destinations, diving and outdoor travel, with an emphasis on places where tourism has not yet flattened everything. This page explains how the coverage is put together.

Visited, then written

Destinations are described after a visit. Where a place is covered from research, the article is labelled as a preview rather than a guide.

Dive and activity information

Dive sites, conditions and operator details are checked with local operators and cross-referenced against the season. Depth, visibility and difficulty ratings reflect what is typical, not the best day of the year.

Seasonality and honesty

Every destination has a bad season, and we say when it is. A guide that promises perfect weather twelve months a year is not useful to anyone.

Independence

Marcus Webb writes and photographs the material here. Operators do not pay for coverage, and no trip is taken in exchange for a positive article. Where an affiliate booking link exists, it is disclosed.

Corrections

Operators close, reefs change, trails erode. Write to contact@skaftourism.net with anything out of date.
