Scuba Calendar 4+

Scuba Calendar helps you plan your scuba diving vacation based on the time of year, and the marine wildlife you'd like to see.

It also inspires conservation, by informing us about the wonders of the marine world and how we, as divers, can help protect the sea and engage in citizen science.

Currently, you can search for more than 30 animals, in over 400 locations, across 70 countries.

The information about sighting areas and wildlife is focusing only on the peak period for each scuba diving location. Though it is impossible to predict sightings with complete accuracy, our aim is to maximize your chances.

We are constantly enlarging and fine-tuning the database.

Key Features:

SEARCH
Select an animal you wish to see. You can also add a month and/or region. The app then determines the geographic locations where the chosen marine life can most likely be spotted.

COUNTRY PAGE
Once you select a desired country, the Country Page shows the types and locations of other marine life likely to be spotted in that country. The page also includes valuable information like local diving regulations, environmental sustainability recommendations, a list of hyperbaric chambers and more.

MY MAP
Keep track of your marine wildlife experiences on your own personal map. Add your sightings by selecting an animal, time of year and country. Take the opportunity to report on the environmental situation at the dive site (e.g. marine debris, corals in distress, etc.).

DIVERS CONNECTED
Divers Connected serves as a social platform for divers all around the world to share their experiences publicly. Check what other divers are logging and participate in building a database of sightings, which could help marine scientists in their research.

ANIMAL FACTS
Written in a fun and easy to understand way, this section will increase your knowledge about marine animals.
