About this archive
Underwater Photography Magazine (UwP) was a free bi-monthly web magazine published by Peter Rowlands of PR Productions, running from 2001 to 2026 — one of the longest-running publications dedicated to underwater photography. Peter announced his retirement in issue 150. This site is an unofficial, searchable index of every issue, hosted with the publisher's permission, built to make 2001–2026 of back issues actually browsable rather than sitting in a stack of PDFs.

How this was built
Every issue's PDF was parsed to reconstruct its table of contents, extract each article's text, and crop a standalone excerpt PDF. Article titles and authors come from each issue's own table of contents, hand-corrected where the parser got tripped up by unusual page layouts. Search is powered by Pagefind.
This archive was conceived of and built by Andy Deitsch, using Claude to write the extraction pipeline and this site. If you spot an error — a wrong author, a garbled title, a missing article — please get in touch at info@insidescuba.online.
