Best of 2014: Scuba Diving's Advanced Adventures


Wrecks of Malin Head

Steve Jones

Advanced adventures are the core of what we love about diving, and this year we tried to bring you some of the most epic excursions yet. For the November/December issue of Scuba Diving, we wanted to take one last look at these out-of-control experiences. From shark diving in Cuba's Gardens of the Queen and Bimini to ice-diving in Russia and re-living maritime history in Ireland's Malin Head, here are some of the stories that got our adrenaline pumping and re-invigorated our love for the sport we can't live without.
