Frequently asked questions about divers.world

So many websites covering all aspects of diving already exist, do we really need another portal for divers? This and other questions we asked ourselves years ago. That was not the first question. The first question was: Why isn't there a comprehensive website for divers that offers me what I need in one single spot?. So we searched and searched.... The largest pages were either from a magazine publisher or a diving association itself. Many were not multilingual or were unusable for other reasons, such as an extremely disturbing amount of advertising. The only option that was left: DIY. Step by step, we will develop a tool for divers and diving schools. It's not about advertising a magazine or association. It's good for diving. We want to create a tool that helps all divers to dive better.

This portal is for everyone! No matter if you're a leisure diver, beginner, tech diver, instructor, or a diveshop owner. We're all passionate for diving, and divers.world is the one-stop-tool for all needs.

Many social platforms build their sites to harvest your data and make money from it. We take data privacy seriously. On one hand this is about genuinely protecting your data: we do not keep it in one big pot, we store it encrypted and carefully protected, spread across several databases and data centres in Germany. No duplicates are created, and we follow the principle of data minimisation. On the other hand, you have to explicitly allow us every use and publication of your data and images, and we ask in plain language, not in small print. As you can see, we mean it. If you want to know more, take a look at our Privacy page.

Travel Specialists, Diver Masters, Senior Developers and Database Experts

Apart from spending time in our regular jobs, we like to travel the world and look at the countless beautiful dive sites this planet has to offer.

We commit a part of our spare time to create a portal for divers which lives up to our (and your) needs and requirements. Up to now, we were unable to find a portal for divers which incorporates all features deemed useful by us, so we created one: divers.world.
