Wtf?? I pay for that subscription! Should I cancel? That's annoying. I do agree it is the best reefkeeping magazine in North America, but now I feel like I'm getting ripped off.

It is cheaper, but just barely.
I wouldn't cancel your subscription, but if you are close to an RW dealer it might make sense to not re-new the order and just pick it up at your local dealer next year.

I believe a subscription costs you $8.12/magazine comparitively.

I did the math already. It's the advertising you chose though. I hope to see lowered subscriptions in the future.

I was just talking about this with a freind a week ago. I too have a subscription but I dont pay for it. How? I dont know. It just comes. I edited a post earlier but someone has since posted that there is a free app for iphones and ipad users.

Same here Madreefer. I did not subscribe but I just received my second issue this year. It seemed to coincide with the same time I received my PADI advanced dive card but that could just be coincidence.

I would.. as soon as you find someplace that carries it. subscriptions of normal mags are normaly 1/2 to 2/3s the shelf rate.

Now I do feel ripped off!!
I think that these mag are closer to $10.00CAD than $8+ subscribed.

I put in a subscription for three years to get closer to $7.00/mag, but that's due to the CAD strength. And they usually arrive later than what the lfs can get it, too.

Anyone living close to a lfs who carries it should set up a subscription contract with the lfs instead. Have the lfs put it aside for you as they come in.

But I do agree that it is a mag that's the best out there.

They are $7 each with a subscription. 7/$49 or 13/$91. But ya they do arrive later than in the stores.
