Dive sites App

[SeaWarden]

Does anyone know of any apps that will mark down all the dive sites in the world?

Maybe a map of each site as well based on community contribution? What do you guys think? Would there be an interest? How do dive sites get their name? Is there a website that marks all of these?

I am not aware of any. There are several web based logbooks that include dive sites. These are frequently user submitted but not verified for accuracy which leads to redundant or inaccurate site information/location/name.

I think maps and more reliable data is more region specific and what that regional community has created via an authored book or local website.

Oh wow, we need the same thing for diving sites.. cause every time I go to a new location to find spots, it's scouring the internet for all the different sites available.

But most of the time internet isn't available.

The app has been pulled off the Android app store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.padi.scubaearth

Wow this is exactly what I have been looking for when trying out apps to sync with my Suunto Eon Core...

Has this been discontinued or why is it not available in the Playstore anymore?

You could download as an .apk file and manually install on Android phones (the beauty of Android vs. iOS)

Divesites.com has some gps data for sites as well as wannadive.net. An app would be neat. The latter is prettier and has good informational data about a region or dive site in a summary form which I like.

What would be a good idea for sharing dive sites with gps locations?
Until a few years ago, gps locations (esp. of wrecks) were kept as secrets. And unfortunately not without reason, with all the illegal salvaging going in Indonesia...
