Divers care about the ocean. Dive shops care about their communities. Conservation groups care about protecting fragile ecosystems.

But too often, these worlds operate separately.

Scuba Network was built to bring them together.

We're connecting and empowering the global diving community and ocean conservationists through a platform that divers actually enjoy using. A user-friendly dive log, meaningful fields, space for photos and memories, and most importantly—data structured to support conservation efforts, science, and policy.

This isn't just about logging dives. It's about turning everyday experiences underwater into collective impact.

For Dive Shops: Grow Community and Promote Responsible Diving

Dive shops are where most divers begin their journey. With Scuba Network, that relationship doesn't have to end when the trip is over.

Divers can create personal profiles, log their dives, upload photos, and tag locations and operators. Over time, this builds a living record of their experiences and keeps your shop part of their story.

You can encourage customers to log dives after courses or guided trips, helping them track progress while also contributing to a wider pool of ocean data. Divers see real conditions, species sightings, and site notes from others, making it easier to plan future dives and travel responsibly.

It's also a simple way to promote sustainability. Highlight reef-safe practices, local conservation projects, and eco-conscious operators. Your shop becomes known not just for training divers, but for helping protect the environments they explore.

Because our platform has been developed web-first, this means dive organizations will greatly benefit from SEO by keeping their page up to date.

For Liveaboards: Add Purpose to Every Trip

Liveaboards reach some of the most beautiful and remote dive sites on the planet. That makes them powerful contributors to ocean conservation.

Guests can log dives onboard (offline mobile app coming soon!), share media, record reef conditions, and report marine debris or ghost fishing gear. These observations are quietly aligned with monitoring standards so they can support research and conservation work.

For your guests, it adds meaning to their journey. Their photos and logs aren't just memories—they become part of a bigger picture of ocean health.

For operators, it offers a genuine sustainability story backed by real contributions, not just marketing claims.

For Conservation Groups: Citizen Science Without the Friction

Divers are already in the water every day, across thousands of locations worldwide. Scuba Network turns that presence into usable data.

Because the platform is designed around how divers naturally log and share experiences, participation feels easy and rewarding. At the same time, the information collected is structured in a way that supports research and environmental monitoring.

Conservation groups gain access to global, grassroots observations:

  • Reef condition monitoring
  • Species sightings and biodiversity data
  • Debris reports and ghost gear locations
  • Changing conditions over time

And because divers have profiles and a sense of ownership over what they share, they feel like collaborators, not data collectors.

Built for Divers. Designed for the Ocean.

At its heart, Scuba Network is about connection.

Divers create profiles, track their adventures, and share moments that matter. Shops strengthen their communities. Liveaboards give trips deeper purpose. Conservation groups gain visibility into underwater ecosystems around the world.

Every dive logged adds to a growing picture of ocean health.

Every photo shared helps tell the story of our changing seas.

Every profile created brings another ocean advocate into the community.
