Commenting on Dive Sites

This weekend we’ve rolled out the ability to comment on dive sites. Just pick the site you want, and you’ll find the form at the bottom of the site page to leave a comment about that location.

Welcome.

Thanks for checking out the “preview” release of scoobah.com. The site is a free and easy way to log your own dives, find new dives sites and see where others have been diving. It’s a shared experience — if you create a new dive site, it will be immediately available for others to use when they log their dives there.

One of the best parts of the site is that it makes it easy to share your information  with others. Every dive, and every site, has a permanent web address (URL) that you can bookmark, cut, copy and paste.

The site is the personal work of Tom Karlo (me). I’ve been a recreational diver for almost 20 years, and have a PADI Rescue Diver certification. I don’t get to dive nearly as often as I’d like to, but that’s part of why I’m working on this site. I’m hoping that better, easier to access information on dives sites and dive activity will make it easier for everyone to get in the water more often.

We’ll be rolling out a number of new features in the near future:

• Commenting on dive sites and individual dives
• Photo uploading so you can share your dive images right alongside the dive record
• Marking dive sites as favorites
• The ability to revise and update dive sites entered by other users
• RSS feeds of dives, site activity, etc
• Export of a user’s dive in CSV format

Please drop me an email if you have any comments. I’d love to hear them.
