The challenge
Divers needed one trustworthy place to check today’s conditions per site (not generic ocean forecasts) and a way to log dives quickly without wrestling a bloated app. Prior tools were either slow, global, or ad-heavy, and didn’t fit how Sydney shore dives actually work.
Highlights
What we did
• Created a lightweight app divers can save to their phone and use anywhere.
• Pulled in the latest wind, swell, and tide data for each Sydney dive site.
• Designed simple cards that highlight if conditions look good, with details just a tap away.
• Built a photo-led dive log that auto-fills key info like tide, time, and weather.
• Added handy extras: bookmark favourite sites, get gentle reminders when conditions look good, and keep full control of your privacy.
• Made sure it’s fast and reliable, so it works smoothly even with spotty reception.
• Kept the focus on divers’ needs, not ads or noise — just clean, useful tools.
