Divers Atlas

You know the feeling when the visibility is better than expected, or the current is ripping?

That’s worth sharing.

Conditions reports on Divers Atlas keep those details where other divers can find them, instead of buried in Facebook threads.

It takes about 30 seconds in the app or on the website.

Dived this weekend? Leave a report while it’s fresh.

The best dives don’t end when you surface.

They stick around in the notes you meant to write, the photo you forgot to upload, the tip you told your buddy but never saved anywhere useful.

If you’re diving this weekend, leave a little something in the Atlas while it’s still fresh. A conditions report, a photo, a quick note about visibility or access. Takes a minute and actually helps the next person.

Where are you diving this weekend? Let us know.

Beneath the surface, knowledge is fragile.

Instructor and technical diver Candice Heizmann made Okinawa Reef a little more permanent by sharing a detailed 3D model, so the rest of us can explore its contours, life, and character long after the dive ends.

This is the quiet work of exploration: turning personal effort into shared legacy.

Beneath the jungle of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula lies a vast underwater world.

Nohoch Nah Chich is part of the Sac Actun cave system near Tulum, with an intricate network of passages and striking limestone formations.

Diver and explorer Cory Courson has added photos and site information to Divers Atlas, helping build a resource that gives other divers more to learn from when planning their own explorations.

Every photo and detail adds to the bigger picture.

The more we know about a dive site, the better.

From conditions and access to local knowledge and site history, every detail helps divers plan ahead and make more informed decisions. That shared knowledge can also help protect the places we explore.

Divers Atlas brings that information together, building a resource for divers today and a record for the future.

What do you always want to know before diving a new site?

A flooded limestone quarry. Submerged roads and vehicles. Depths reaching 60 metres. 🤿

Kreidesee Hemmoor in Hemmoor, Germany, offers a freshwater dive unlike most others, with clear water, dramatic quarry walls, and plenty to explore beneath the surface.

What’s the most unusual thing you’ve ever come across underwater?

Before you dive Blue Heron Bridge, you never know what you might find. 👀

A seahorse hiding in plain sight. An octopus tucked into a crevice. A frogfish camouflaged against the bottom. Or even a manatee passing by! 🐋

Blue Heron Bridge in Riviera Beach, Florida, is known for its incredible marine life and the surprises waiting beneath the surface. No two dives have to be the same. 🤿

But knowing a dive site before you go helps you plan ahead, know what to expect, and make more informed decisions in the water.

Have you dived Blue Heron Bridge? What's one thing you'd tell a dive buddy before their first dive there? 👇

Divers Atlas will be featured in Ry No’s presentation at the 2026 Southeast Texas Public Safety Diving Conference held October 13-15, 2026 at Mammoth Lake Texas.

Ryan, an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper and Divers Atlas contributor, is exploring how 3D photogrammetry can be used for underwater crime scene reconstruction. Divers Atlas Director Matthew Hardman has been working with Ryan to teach him how to collect and process imagery for 3D reconstruction.

As a nonprofit, we’re excited to see the knowledge and skills being developed through Divers Atlas find applications beyond recreational diving, and into the hands of the people using these tools in the field.

And yes, Ryan will have some Divers Atlas stickers to hand out, too.

Join public safety dive teams from across Texas at the 2026 Southeast Texas Public Safety Diving Conference, October 13–15 at Mammoth Lake Texas. Three days of PSD training, hands-on equipment demonstrations, vendor presentations, networking and the annual Public Safety Diver Competition.

We didn’t even get a chance to properly promote our October mission before you blew past it. 🤯

The goal: 150 new dive sites added to the Atlas.

The result: 326 and counting. And we’re not even halfway through the month.

Divers from around the world showed up and made it happen. 🌎🤿

A huge thank you to the divers who helped get us there: Ashley Weems (!!!), Instructor Toto, Sarah Kiomall, Christine Tamburri, RyNo, Brent Kiomall, Cleric Kass, Cory Courson, Dennis, and Victor.

And now, let’s keep it going.

Make sure your favorite dive sites are on the Atlas. We heard about a lot of them in our last post, and some aren’t there yet.

Let’s change that.

The dive ends. The record starts.

A photo. A dive log. A condition report. A detail about a site that might help the next diver.

Every month, divers add pieces to the Atlas that make these places a little easier to understand, explore, and remember.

What did you add to the Atlas this month? 👇
