Bringing Deepblu back to the surface
Deepblu is where scuba divers and freedivers logged their dives, found dive spots and shared what they saw underwater. It went quiet for years. I'm bringing it back online, one piece at a time.
What Deepblu is
A logbook and a community for everyone who dives
Deepblu started as a social dive log that worked hand in hand with the COSMIQ dive computer. Divers synced their dives, added photos and notes, and shared them with other divers, dive shops and instructors.
Over the years that grew into a world map of dive spots, groups for every kind of diving, and a large archive of logged dives and underwater photos, all written by the people who were there.
Where it stands
What's back, and what's next
The original team stopped developing Deepblu years ago, and the services it depended on shut down one by one. The revival moves it to new infrastructure and rebuilds the apps for today's phones.
Website

Why revive it
A record of the ocean worth keeping
Deepblu holds years of dives that people logged, photographed and shared: reefs, wrecks, walls, first open-water dives and hundredth dives. That record is worth keeping online, and a community built around the ocean deserves a home that works.
The work is done in small, careful steps: keep what exists safe, get it running again, then improve it.
