Dive Buddies helps divers plan dives together. Set when and where you are available, see who matches your schedule and preferences, and organise dives with friends or new buddies in your area!
Create an account or log in to get started.
Shops can suggest dives for divers who have marked availability, so customers discover trips that fit their schedule.
Dive Buddies is a platform for divers to plan dives together, built and developed by Julian West to get more divers diving together, and have some fun experiencing your local dive sites! We have also partnered with some amazing services providing complex assessments of conditions to try and plan the best dive for a fun adventure.

Your preferences are used for matching. When you add your availability, you can select a preference set for the dive, but these prefereces form a baseline for the most broad options you would like to or be able to dive with.
Diver preference answers apply to diver accounts. Switch to a diver login to view and edit these answers, or use the API as a dive shop where appropriate.
