Scuba, Snorkel & Dive Travel Watch

Why this is recommended

A marine park that closed the site a diver booked, a liveaboard cabin release at 30 percent off, a chamber closure that changes the safety calculus for a remote trip, a gear recall on the member's regulator, or a whale shark season opening are each worth the membership on one trip.

What the Tab covers

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

Dive site closures, reef bleaching and visibility reports, marine park fee and permit changes, liveaboard cabin releases and deals, dive operator safety incidents and enforcement, certification agency rule and price changes at PADI, SSI and NAUI, dive gear recalls, shark, jellyfish and marine hazard advisories, dive insurance and hyperbaric chamber availability, airline dive gear baggage rules, whale shark, manta and seasonal encounter windows and new wrecks and artificial reefs, with the site, operator or rule first and the date in the title.

Track dive and snorkel travel for US divers. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: dive site closures, reef bleaching and visibility reports for Florida, Hawaii, California, the Caribbean, Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Bonaire, the Galapagos, Egypt, the Maldives, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Palau, Fiji and Australia; marine park fee and permit changes; liveaboard cabin releases and deals of 20 percent or more; dive operator safety incidents and enforcement actions; certification agency rule and price changes at PADI, SSI, NAUI and GUE; dive gear recalls; shark, jellyfish and marine hazard advisories from park or health authorities; DAN insurance changes and hyperbaric chamber openings and closures; airline dive gear baggage rule changes; seasonal whale shark, manta, hammerhead and sardine run windows; and new wrecks and artificial reefs. Prefer park authorities, NOAA, operator announcements, certification agencies, DAN, airline pages and established dive reporting; ignore operator marketing and unverified trip reports. Put the site, operator or rule first in the title with the date. Use high severity for a closure of a top-50 site, a chamber closure, a gear recall, or a liveaboard deal of 30 percent or more. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
