It is your dive logbook. Log each dive with its site, conditions, equipment, photographs and the species you saw, keep your certification cards in the Credential Wallet, and look back through highlights and milestones. Explore shows dive sites and what divers see there.

Yes. Your dive records, the species catalogue and your profile are stored on your device, and changes synchronise when a connection is available. Explore and the maps require a connection.

Only information from dives at verified sites: species observed, conditions and exposure equipment, combined with other users' dives and never attributed to you. It produces the figures on Explore, such as what divers see at a site and when. Notes, photographs, buddies and medical details are never used. This can be disabled in Settings › Privacy.

Explore, the species index, Marine Safari, What's That Fish and the packing checklist are free. Logging dives and keeping them backed up requires a plan. Prices are shown in the App before purchase and on our pricing section.

Basic keeps your logbook going: your first 15 dives at any pace, then 5 a month, with your dives and photographs backed up. Premium adds unlimited logging, more photographs per dive, the dive tools, statistics, unlimited highlights and printable dive pages.

A one-off purchase of everything in Premium for 30 days, made for a trip. It does not renew. Each further Boost adds 30 days. When it ends you return to your plan, and everything you logged is kept. If you chose to continue on Basic afterwards, that is a separate subscription which may be cancelled in the store.

Photograph a logbook page and the App reads it into a dive for you to check before saving; fields that cannot be read are left blank. Otterseas journal pages are included with Basic and Premium. Other logbooks use scan credits, which come with a Boost or a Scan Pack. Certification cards can be scanned into the Credential Wallet. Page photographs are not kept once the dive is saved. If a page type repeatedly fails, please email us a photograph of it.

Go to Settings › Data & storage › Export dive logs to save every dive as a CSV or JSON file, or as printable PDF pages. Highlight cards and videos are saved or shared from the highlight itself.
