For divers and dive centres

Your dives, your dive sites, your buddies

You keep your dive log here, digitally - every dive with its dive site, depth and buddies. You also see which divers dive near you and which dive centres are around, and the dive sites and dive regions come from divers who add what they know.

What you can do here

Logbook

Log every dive

Depth, time, gas, conditions, the dive site and who you dived with. Photos belong to a dive, and you decide which one is the favourite.

Buddies

Find the buddies who fit

Find the buddies from your past dives again, and new ones for the water near you or for a trip you are planning. Profiles show certification, experience and what someone likes to dive, so you find divers who really fit.

Dive centres

Find a dive centre, wherever you dive

Near home for diving and further training, while planning a holiday, or on the spot when you feel like getting in the water today. Every dive centre has its own page with contact details, location and what it offers.

Fan

Back the base you dive with

Points you earn for your own activity also count towards the dive centres you are a fan of. Being a fan costs nothing and says something.

In three steps

Step 1

Create an account

An e-mail address is enough. The public part of the site works without an account – the logbook does not.

Step 2

Log your first dive

Pick the dive site, enter depth and time, add photos. Dive site missing? Add it - from then on it exists for everyone.

Step 3

Connect

Find buddies for your next dive, become a fan of your dive centre, and let your profile show what you dive.

Where to start

Six pages about what we are building here - all of them open, no account needed.

For dive centres

You run a dive centre?

Your entry usually exists already – dive centres worldwide are collected here. What is missing is everything only you know: courses, languages, opening hours, boats, the house reef. A page with those details gets found; a page with a name and an address does not.

  • Your own page with contact details, location and offer – in three languages.
  • Divers who are your fans push your entry up, and you can see how many there are.
  • Dive sites and regions around you link to your page – and your page links back.

Points for what you do

Logged dives, dive sites you add, photos you contribute - each of them earns points. They are not a currency and you cannot buy anything with them; they show how much of this site comes from you.

Fan of a dive centre

Say which dive centre you dive with, and part of your points counts towards its score. That is the whole mechanism – no rating, no stars, no reviews.

You can be a fan of several dive centres and change that at any time.

Frequently asked

Does it cost anything?

No, and for recreational divers it will stay that way permanently. Your account, your dive log, adding dive sites and being a fan of a dive centre are free.

Can I share my dives with others?

Your dives and your photos belong to you, and today none of a dive is public. Our goal is that you can release single dives or single photos to the buddies you dived with - you decide what, and for whom. Public already is your diver profile and everything you contribute to dive sites and dive regions.

How do I find a buddy?

Through the diver profiles. You can look up the buddies from your past dives, or search for divers near you or in the region you are travelling to. Certification, experience and diving interests are part of the profile, so you find someone who fits - and it always goes through a request that the other diver accepts or declines.

My dive centre is listed, but the details are wrong.

Then take the entry over. Sign in and claim it, and from then on you can update and extend everything yourself. The dive centre section in the footer leads there.

Start with one dive

The dive log is the shortest way in: one dive, one dive site, one photo. Everything else - buddies, fan, your own dive sites - builds on that.
