About

Users can favorite specific dive sites for offline access, filter locations by country or region, and explore wreck tours in popular destinations like Scapa Flow, Portugal, Egypt, and Malta. For subscribers, premium content includes access to additional dive spots, an automatic tide planner for locations like Lake Oosterschelde, and stunning 3D wreck animations that let users virtually circle wrecks by swiping on their screen. The app also connects divers with nearby dive shops and schools. Whether you're planning a holiday dive in Bonaire, Malta, or anywhere else on the planet, Divers Guide App serves as the ideal pre-dive research companion and post-dive logging tool.
