Dive. Log. Share.
DIVR is the dive logging platform that combines speed, community, and ocean conservation into one seamless experience for scuba divers everywhere.
We're building the world's most connected scuba community — a social dive logging platform where every dive you log, every site you discover, and every photo you share contributes to something bigger. DIVR makes it effortless for divers to document their adventures in under 30 seconds, connect with their diving community, and automatically contribute valuable data to marine science and ocean conservation efforts.
Our vision is simple: every recreational dive should help us understand and protect the ocean. By making dive logging delightful and social-first, we're turning millions of recreational divers into a force for marine conservation.
Dive logging is broken. Paper logbooks get damaged and lost. Brand-specific apps lock you into one ecosystem with zero social features. Dive site information is scattered across forums, Facebook groups, and outdated websites. There's no single platform where you can log a dive fast, share it with your community, and discover your next adventure — all in one place.
Meanwhile, marine biologists and conservation organizations desperately need more observational data about ocean health, but collecting it is expensive and limited. Millions of recreational divers are already exploring these ecosystems every day — they just need the right tool to contribute.
Log any scuba dive in under 30 seconds with GPS, depth, duration, conditions, and photos. No clunky forms, no unnecessary steps. Your digital dive logbook should be as effortless as the dive itself.
Follow dive buddies, explore site-specific feeds, discover new dive spots through your community, and plan your next dive trip together. This isn't just a logbook — it's the social network divers have been waiting for.
Optional, gamified data tags — coral health, species sightings, visibility — contribute to ocean research without feeling like homework. Every dive you log helps marine scientists understand and protect our oceans.
We're creating a future where every recreational dive contributes to understanding and protecting our oceans. By making dive logging delightful and social-first, we're building the world's largest community-generated database of marine observations — turning millions of recreational divers into citizen scientists.
Because every dive has a story, and every observation matters.
Master's Student in Econometrics • Scuba Instructor • Ocean Enthusiast
I'm Joep Weterman, a Master's student in Econometrics, scuba instructor, all-round ocean enthusiast, and the founder of DIVR. My connection to the ocean started when I was very young, and it has shaped nearly every chapter of my life since.
While completing my studies, I worked in Thailand and the Philippines as a divemaster and instructor. These experiences deepened my appreciation for the underwater world and the countless forms of life it holds.
DIVR was born from a simple observation: divers are passionate about their experiences, but the tools to document and share them are scattered, outdated, or simply not social enough. At the same time, marine scientists desperately need more data about ocean health, and recreational divers are perfectly positioned to provide it.
By building DIVR, I want to bridge that gap — creating a platform where divers can effortlessly log their adventures, connect with their community, and contribute to the protection of the oceans we all love.
