Help welcome Conchdivers.com new webmaster

[Scuba_Jenny]

I am pleased to announce a new webmaster to the conchdivers.com team.....(drumrolll please) Reefguy!
Jeff will be working on the database part of the site. ONe of the most ambitious portions of the site will be the functionality of finding local divesites with correct information without having to post here everytime somebody say, wants info on how to get to Venice beach, or what to expect at Rainbow river... you get the idea.
Shortly, we will be asking for information that you can give us on your favorite dive sites, which we can then populate into the database.
I know we asked this awhile ago, and we still have that info...somewhere...
Stay tuned!

I'm not familiar with this project so I dunno if this has already been suggested or not, but...
If you're cataloging all the info on the Fla sites to dive, I'd appreciate those being sortable by region, county, and even zip. I'd like to be able to punch in my zip and be given a list of sites in order from nearest to farthest with a little one-line synopsis describing it, and a rating (by members), and a date out next to it telling us when that particular site's entry was last updated.
Then, when you click on the site, you get the full description, maps, fees, photos, etc. and trip reports updated by the users.

Just some stuff I had considered working on recently myself since I couldn't seem to find any such resource online.

Am considering doing the same for "Trails" in Florida (paddling, hiking, biking, horse) since I haven't found an adequate one of those either. Unless, anyone knows of one I missed?

You are right on the money there!

You may want to look at www.shorediving.com. They have pretty nice survey tool and a decent interface. I'd like to see a little more structure, though, with things such as directions, photos, etc. and the sorting functionality that you mention.

I can't wait to contribute!
