I read they have a pretty fast rejection time and a somewhat long acceptance time. I suppose that means if you don't hear back from them soon...you might be in luck!

I remember the site used to have deadlines for it's quarterly issues (did I mention it was a quarterly zine?) - but those deadlines aren't there anymore. I suppose somebody realized that if they were doing all ocean, all the time...then maybe posting deadlines was kinda pointless ;)

The site itself is full of info. There are samples from the current and past issue as well as some gorgeous photography work. You can use those to get a feel for what it is they're looking for. They also suggest you purchase an issue or subscription to get a full understanding.
