Ocean Planet
Ocean Planet is a mobile app for divers and snorkellers to discover dive sites and access marine species information while enjoying ocean education.
What OceanPlanet Is
OceanPlanet is a web-based platform for scuba divers, built around an interactive global dive map. It lets divers explore dive sites, track marine species, and contribute to citizen science through an interactive diving community. oceanplanet
The positioning sits at the intersection of three things: dive site discovery, marine species logging, and ocean conservation.
What It Does for Divers
Based on the platform's own description, there are three core functions:
Dive site discovery — an interactive dive map covering dive sites worldwide, so divers can find and research places to dive rather than relying on scattered forum posts or local knowledge. oceanplanet
Species tracking — divers can log and track marine species they encounter, turning a dive log into a record of what's actually in the water at a given site. oceanplanet
Community — the platform is framed as a diving community, not just a database, which suggests divers contribute the content rather than just consuming it. oceanplanet
The Conservation Angle
This is what separates OceanPlanet from a straightforward dive site directory. Species observations feed into citizen science and ocean conservation
