Is there any visibility and currents database/website for scuba divers?

Question

I am looking for a database/website that allows looking up currents and visibility information for global (or at least Asian) dive sites.

To find this information without such a site is a true nightmare since one has to scour multiple forums and websites for a specific dive site, one by one. If I had a website with centralized information, I could much easier check where it is good to go during a specific week.

I want to be able to pick a dive site and find out how the situation is in a specific season instead of having to guesstimate the conditions by taking a national average or even having to ask in a forum if ever anyone has been to a place in a certain month and hoping for a reply...

Any one knows of such a directory?

Answer 1

You should look at your certification and look at their website for various exploration projects.

For example. GUE has a list of current exploration projects with information on visibility from past dives. Some like Emerald Sink have data more recent then others.

• Scuba Adviser also provides information on the dive sites in Asia but you will need to be a little more specific as to the dive site to get information.
