Tank Reef

by Rosy Diver on January 05, 2014

I recently registered a dive on a dive site that is not in the dive guide books. I know another member John had trouble finding information on this dive so I thought I'd post the link I gave him. I think it's pretty comprehensive. I thoroughly enjoyed the dive.

Dive computer circa December 29, 2013

by Mike Mc Manigal on December 30, 2013

Why it DID work! Still managing to pull some tasks out. For instance, there are a list of files on my Suunto dive computer that I don't have access to this moment. Who did you think of it?

DIVEBOARD AT DEMA 2013 ORLANDO, FLORIDA

by Kernsart on November 18, 2013

DEMA 2013, in Orlando, Florida seemed bigger this year, than last. The floor of the Orange County Convention Center, filled with gear, travel venues, accessories, and much more.The opening day air, was filled with the excitement of people in the diving industry from all over the world. Vendors readied and waiting for the crowd to enter, could hear "SCUBA RADIO" pumping up the crowd with music and giveaways. The veterans, talked among themselves, checked text messages, looking up on occas-ion for a familiar face, or distracted by the noise of the crowd. The newcomers, starry-eyed, searching for friends and perhaps a glimpse of one of the diving world's superstars. Then the doors opened on...

Philippines wrecked by typhoon Haiyan - time to help!

by Ksso on November 13, 2013

As you may already have heard, typhoon Haiyan struck Philippines last friday causing massive amount of disaster and an estimate of about 2.500 deaths and 600.000 people left homeless by the category 5 typhoon. The island of Cebu, a very popular travel destination for scuba divers has been totally wiped out with about 90 to 95% buildings destroyed including hospitals and clinics.

The city of Tacloban one of the largest in the country with 220.000 has been ruined just the same (see the picture below)

DEMA 2013 is ON!

by Ksso on November 06, 2013

The DEMA show is the biggest trade show in the industry. This year it's taking place in Orlando, FL, and the Diveboard team is there to meet and greet fellow divers - and cover the latest industry news.

We're here on a mission: explain to as many shops as possible that asking their customers to log their dives with them and leave a review is the best way to keep a connection with their past customers and hopefully have them think about them and recommend them to their friends.

The show opens today, but the networking floor was already on last night at the Rosen hotel where I got to hear so many inspiring stories about new found shipwrecks or artificial reefs being created ! Engaging with...

World Octopus Day

by Ksso on October 09, 2013

Yesterday was the World Octopus Day - joins me in the celebration of one of my favorite species to encounter during a dive.

Octopuses are playful and when you learn how to interact with them you're on for hours of fun (air permitting). But as the infographics above reminds us, they are far from being helpless - armed with strong tentacles and a powerful beak they can be dreadful if you are careless !

Also watch out for polluted areas - we know too well how octopuses react to toxic spills (if you missed that joke you probably need to play Day of the Tentacle) !

North Sea Deep Sea Diver Recalls Moment He Almost Died at 300 Feet!

by Paul Smart on September 09, 2013

Interesting read....

Website was down earlier but seems fine now!

A North Sea diver has described the dramatic moment he almost died on the ocean floor.

Deep-sea diver Chris Lemmons was stranded nearly 300ft underwater with no air line after the connection which had been supplying him with oxygen was severed.

But thanks to a heroic effort by the vessel’s master and fellow divers, the 33-year-old was rescued and resuscitated – more than 30 minutes after getting into trouble.

Diveboard updates : Explore !

by Ksso on August 26, 2013

We gave a lot of love to the shops pages recently, but that doesn't mean we're not busy making the rest of Diveboard better.

Pascal just released today the kind of updates I love best: little touches here and there that totally change how a page is perceived.

By being supersized, the right pane of the explore has all of a sudden taken a whole new dimension, with the text becoming super easy to read and the pictures totally changing the way this thing looks. Plus the pics are now picked amongst the nicest one uploaded - dramatically changing the experience on this page.

Try it out and see how it goes! ...
