Favorite Logbook & Dive Community App

The Buddy is a fantastic scuba diving companion app!

The logbook functionality is crazy robust and allows you to put tons of details into each of your dive logs. Being able to add photos and videos to your logs helps keeps all your dive memories in one place. The ability to have a digital dive bag to keep track of all the gear you use and mark what gear you use on each dive is so cool.

From an instructor and dive shop owner point of view the ability to push dive log verification to my students is awesome, and helps to teach them how to make good dive logs.

The social aspect of the app makes it fun to keep up with our divers as they go on and explore the underwater world. It’s a great way to interact with other divers, and the articles that are posted are interesting and fun too.

I recommend this app to everyone of my students and everyone that walks through the doors of our dive shop. If you are looking for the best dive log app with tons of other functions that you will use and enjoy; then look no further and enjoy your new Buddy!

Amazing Scuba Diving App with All the Features!

I have been using the Buddy app for scuba diving, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way! This app is a game-changer for divers who want to log their dives and so much more.

Firstly, the user interface is sleek and intuitive, making it incredibly easy to navigate. Logging dives has never been simpler; I can effortlessly record all the necessary details, such as dive location, depth, duration, and even attach photos to create a comprehensive dive logbook.

The app's community aspect is another fantastic aspect. I can connect with fellow divers, share my dive experiences, and even discover new dive sites recommended by other users. It adds a social element to diving, fostering a sense of camaraderie among diving enthusiasts.

Overall, I highly recommend the Buddy app to all scuba diving enthusiasts. Its user-friendly interface, comprehensive features, and emphasis on community make it the ultimate companion for every dive. Give it a try, and you won't be disappointed!

Pretty Useless

I want to like it. But it’s pretty useless. It seems like I’d have to pay for the social aspects of the app, without knowing how many people are in my area for it to be worthwhile. When searching for buddies in my area, it yields only a handful of results. As a dive log, I have to log manually, no option to import or export data. I don’t see that being any better than the padi, naui, or ssi apps that allows me to manually log dives. Worst is, I was testing the dive log feature with dummy data. Although it’s only in draft, it comes up in public searches. Although I save it as private, it still pops up in public searches. I delete the draft, it tells me the draft was successfully deleted, and yeap, you guessed it, it’s still coming up in public searches. I deleted and reinstalled the app to clear it from cache… nope it’s still there. Who’s doing qa on this??
