New Online Dive Travel Tool for the Dive Community

(Dive Travel Business News - July 22, 2010) -- Divers from all over the world can now share their knowledge and experience of dive operators, dive centers and liveaboards with a new online resource, Scubadvisor. 

From Belize to Bermuda, from Trinidad to Tonga, Scubadviser offers the collective wisdom of divers with first-hand knowledge of a total over 6000 dive centers and liveaboards worldwide.  Each reviewer rates on a range of measures including attentiveness, quality of diving, and safety awareness, and contributes their own take on the total dive experience. 

No longer do divers need to lurk on message boards or trawl the web when deciding on which operator to choose.  Scubadviser makes it easy to find out what other divers think of the operators that they have used—both good and bad.  All reviews are moderated and dive operators have right of reply.

In addition, for each location, Scubadviser provides:

• An ‘Overview’ of the area
• ‘What to See’ on land and underwater
• ‘Need to Know’ advice for travellers such as vaccinations and medication
• ‘Useful Stuff’ about the currency, local language, weather etc. 

The vision for Scubadviser was driven by a couple of recreational divers, Rick Taylor and Jackie Hutchings, based in Wiltshire, UK.  Having had a disappointing experience on a dive trip, when it came to researching operators for their next trip, they found the available information sketchy at best and nonexistent at worst.  So, they decided to do something about it.  The result was Scubadviser, launched in October 2008.  Visit the website at Scubadviser.com
