Marine Life
Marine Animals are perhaps one of the main attractions of scuba diving. Observing marine life in its natural habitat is a highly rewarding experience and defines diving for many divers.
We currently have information on over a 1000 marine animals including pictures, size and depth.
The directory of marine animals is connected to the logbook and allows divers to enter animals through a suggestive interface.
Studying marine life before or after a dive can be rather informative and enhance the scuba dive.
Scuba Certifications
Through manual research we have come up with a directory of scuba certifications of all the major certifying bodies such as PADI, SSI, CMAS etc. Scuba Diving is a great hobby but one must be prepared for the dive. Our directory would enable you to see a list of all certificates by for e.g: PADI, along with prerequisites, basic information and minimum age for each scuba certification.
You could for example want to get the SSI Dive Guide certification and want to know certifcates to get first.
We have PADI, SSI,ACUC, CMAS, IANTD, NASE, NAUI, SDI-TDI-EDRI and UTD in our directory.
Please note: we are not affiliated in any way with PADI, SSI or any other scuba body.
