Hi Everyone,
we have just created a new free on-line resource for all divers called Big Blue Planet:
www.bigblueplanet.com
It brings together all the different information about all the dive locations on our planet into one place.
So far we have more than 400 different locations from around the planet with more being added every day. From white ice diving in northern Russia, to live-aboards on the Australian Great Barrier Reef, every conceivable diving experience is covered! This is a tremendous resource for divers and accessible from any location via the web.
Big Blue Planet has a suite of powerful, easy-to-use search engines to get you to the right data as fast as possible. Browse interactively by geographical location on the world map system, bounce from location to location, or use an advanced search tool to narrow down your perfect holiday destination.
For example, select the month you wish to go, the water temperature you want, the languages you want to hear people speak, the chances of rain you will tolerate, and then hit go! The short list of best matching locations will be instantly returned.
Since we launched a few weeks ago we have already had a lot of contributions. Dive Centres are registering every day, divers are leaving detailed reviews and detailed location descriptions are being created. However, we need as much help as possible.
Every review that is left is really important as it is helps to build a huge database of visibility, marine encounters, and coral quality, all based on real life experience and broken down by month. This allows Big Blue Planet to produce some stunning graphs of these important variables for each location.
So please take a look round Big Blue Planet and see if you can leave any reviews for locations you have been to.
If we have missed off a location the please add it using the "Add a new location" link.
If you can think of a way we can improve Big Blue Planet, please let me know either by email: ideas@bigblueplanet.com or by posting back to this thread. We will do all we can to make this be the best for all of us.
If you know of any dive centres or travel agents that should be listed then please let them know.
And if you know of anyone else who can help contribute please do let them know.
Thank you for your time whilst reading this and thank you for any contribution you can make to Big Blue Planet
