DIVR
Log dives in 30 seconds. Every dive counts for science.
Recreational divers make millions of dives every year and see more of the underwater world than most researchers ever will. Almost none of those observations reach science: they end up in paper logbooks.
DIVR closes that gap. It is a free dive-logging app (iOS, Android, web) that works the way divers already log: note the dive, add photos, list the species you saw. Under the hood, every sighting is validated against the WoRMS register, the international authority on marine species names, then structured in Darwin Core, the standard format for biodiversity records, and delivered to marine research organisations. DIVR works with Coral.org and EMODnet.
The catalogue holds 4,500+ species and 5,600+ dive sites worldwide, with region-specific species checklists built from real occurrence data. No survey course or programme to join. The app is free for divers.

Hi Fazier! I'm Joep, founder of DIVR. I'm a diver, and on every trip I saw the same thing: everyone logs their dives, but everything they see underwater stays locked in paper logbooks while marine researchers are starved for observation data. DIVR closes that gap. You log a dive in under 30 seconds, add photos and the species you saw, and every sighting is validated against the WoRMS register and delivered to research organisations like Coral.org and EMODnet as structured biodiversity data. Free on iOS, Android and web. I'd love this community's feedback — especially on onboarding and how we explain the science side without scaring off casual divers.
