Divelogs online

[eternallystarvingstudent]

Hi All,

Here's something I've started doing and I hope you all will consider this too. I've been logging all of my dives on the Internet in the form of an online diving weblog.

You can view mine at the following address:

http://www.invisiblecactus.com/blog/diveblog.html

What I'm trying to do is get more people doing the same and linking them all in an online community with one central website where you can go and read about your fellow divers' experiences. The site where this community will reside is www.diveblogs.org

It doesn't cost anything to get started and allows you to share your diving experiences with others and they with you.

Please have a look and let me know what you think. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Ryan.

I think of my divelog kind of personally, kind of like a diary or something like that. Is there something wrong with that? I am not sure I would like just anyone else being able to read it. Is it possible, for data gathering purposes, that a person could just log depths and times and not their dive memories?

Of course...the format is totally open. One can keep as much or as little information in it as desired. I just think it would be a great way to learn about the diving that's happening all around. Someone writing about something they encountered on a dive may get others more interested in diving there or alert others to hazards they might encounter.
