    Cressi Gorilla Pro - Opinions?

    Hey, I travel to dive, and I'm considering investing in some gear (ScubaPro Jet fins, a generic backplate-harness combo, and a Halcyon Eclipse wing - I noticed that BPWs give me much better trim than jackets), as well as a bag to transport it in. I was eyeing the Cressi Gorilla Pro, but...

    Looking for beta testers

    Hi, My name is Zalan Meggyesi (NAUI #BRAC6EC). Some of you may remember me from the summer, "spamming" these boards with surveys related to an idea I had after almost not being able to complete my NAUI Master in Okinawa due to the rainy season kicking down the door and forcing several dive...

    Market research for dive site directory/travel planner

    So what do you think they are doing now? As far as I can tell, the go-to solution for sharing up-to-date information seems to be Facebook groups (which you are either a member of or not) and word-of-mouth when meeting up at the site. Neither of which is very structured or accessible, whether for...

    Market research for dive site directory/travel planner

    That was great feedback, candid and honest. Thank you! I tried not to make the app a silver bullet, sticking to just formalizing the information that seems to be floating around and spread through word-of-mouth. I envision the condition reports (which, you're right, are the main driving force)...

    Hi, My name is Zalán, a recently-certified NAUI Master diver. I'm conducting some market research in order to gauge the viability of a potential idea I have. In a nutshell, the idea is to have a crowdsourced dive site directory, with weather/current reports pulled from institutions and...

    Global Dive Site Directory

    Hello again, In a recent survey I conducted among the diving community, a strong majority emerged for using such a service, but there was much less consensus on pricing. I want to address this point with a second, more focused survey that deals with the sustainability of such an...

    Newly minted NAUI Master Scuba Diver and programmer

    I'm from Hungary, but (to the great puzzlement of my former instructor colleague), I took my NAUI Basic in Okinawa at Reef Encounters. I also dove in Malta, where I got talked into doing the PADI Advanced, after which I decided to go back to Reef Encounters this year to do my NAUI Master and...

    Global Dive Site Directory

    I checked out the following already: wannadive.net divesitedirectory.co.uk divereport.com And these are all fairly general, nothing regarding real-time information on conditions, just what to visit and expect. If even that, because the information is very incomplete. The regional boards here...

    Global Dive Site Directory

    The Background Today, I had to do my last two dives for my NAUI Master and Nitrox certifications (passed both ), but with the Okinawa rainy season kicking down the door, we had a really hard time finding sites for each. This gave me an idea that I broached to my instructor, and now I'm floating...
