PickADive

Find your next dive.

PickADive is a free scuba dive-site directory: 4,824 public dive sites with maps and 7-day conditions outlooks, plus depth, entry points and dated diver reports where they are recorded — forecast-only planning context, always assess conditions on site.

Every site page

Know before you go — answered before you commit.

Shore-dive precision

GPS entry and exit points, parking notes, and hazards — not just a marker somewhere in the bay.

Honest difficulty

Beginner to expert ratings with depth ranges and required certification, so you dive within your training.

Dated context, not promises

Forecast windows, seasonal history, and diver reports that carry their date and source — “Viz 12 m · 14 Jul” beats “usually great.”

Diving the same coast most weekends? Follow your sites and they sort by their soonest favorable window — browsing never needs an account.

How does PickADive source its dive-site data?

PickADive’s dive-site data comes from OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, NOAA, GBIF and Open-Meteo, each kept with its license and provenance. The directory lists 4,824 public dive sites worldwide, every one mapped, and — where a source recorded it — depth range, difficulty and required certification, entry and exit points, parking notes and hazards. Site pages add a 7-day conditions outlook graded from the current marine or wind forecast for that site, seasonal history computed from three years of model data, tide and slack timing where a NOAA station is linked, and dated diver reports once divers file them. Marine-life seasons draw on recorded GBIF sightings and are shown as history, not a promise. Every forecast names its model, and its distance from the site wherever a marine model point is used; every sighting claim carries a record count; every diver report carries its date — and when PickADive does not know something, the page says so. Outlooks are forecast-only planning context: always assess conditions on site and dive within your training.
