Dive Site Location Logger
The good sites are the ones somebody showed you once, from a boat, three years ago. This records them properly — where to park, where to get in, what the bottom does, and which conditions actually make it worth the drive.
What it will do
- Mark a site from where you are standing, or drop it on a map afterwards.
- Separate entry, exit and the interesting bit — they are rarely the same coordinate.
- The practical detail: parking, the gate, the walk, the stairs, whether it works at low tide.
- Depth range, bottom type, typical visibility, and the hazards worth knowing before you get wet.
- Record the conditions each visit — swell, wind, tide — so the pattern of when a site works emerges from your own dives.
- Photos and notes against the site, not scattered across a camera roll.
- 🔴 Works fully offline. Dive sites are exactly where there is no signal, and a location tool that needs a network is no tool at all.
- Full export, including standard formats a chartplotter or mapping app can read.
Your sites are private, and stay that way unless you say otherwise.
Divers do not share locations lightly — some sites are fragile, some
are somebody else’s to give away, and a few are dangerous to the
unprepared. There is no public map, no default sharing and no
“discover nearby sites” built out of other people’s logs.
If site sharing is ever added it will be opt-in, per site, and it will
still be your call.
A logbook, not a navigation system. It records
coordinates you captured and notes you wrote. It is not a chart, not a
nautical aid, and nothing in it should be relied on for getting a boat
somewhere safely.

Got a site worth recording properly?
We are not asking you to share it. But what you wish you had written down about it — that is the thing worth telling us before this gets built.
