Get involved and make a difference

Your sightings protect the underwater world

A community of divers who carefully document their sightings — concretely supporting science and nature conservation.

Carefully documented

What you saw, where and when: the more precise your entries, the more valuable the sighting for research and nature conservation.

Knowledge made visible

What you see underwater often stays hidden from research. Your contribution makes it accessible.

Changes over years

When the community documents a spot over the years, developments become visible that no one else sees.

Why join in?

Every sighting you share contributes to science and nature conservation

When you share what you see underwater, over time a collection emerges that no individual research project could ever assemble on its own. You support science, help identify climate-driven changes early on, and provide arguments for new protected areas.

Your sightings are more than a beautiful experience — they are a concrete contribution:

  • Build scientifically usable data on the underwater world
  • Detect climate-driven changes in species early on
  • Strengthen ecological tourism rather than overfishing
  • Make coral restoration and conservation projects visible
  • Provide arguments for new fishing bans and protected zones
“Your personal contribution. As part of a large community.”

How it works

From sighting to contribution in four steps

1. Dive and discover

What you already do — you dive or snorkel, look around, and see animals, plants, and special places.

Discover spots

2. Document the sighting

Enter what you saw — species, location, time, and ideally a photo as evidence. Reliable data comes from precise entries, not from snapshots.

Create account

3. Classify and share

You assign your sighting to a species, as precisely as you can identify it. Other members confirm, supplement, or discuss — together this turns into a reliable data point.

Browse observations

4. Make an impact

Your sighting becomes part of a collection that research, conservation, and education projects can actually use.

Ad-free by conviction No third-party ads on this platform, no trackers, no data sales.
Our data foundation

An open collection that research can actually use. Help us grow it.

Many small sightings become a shared body of knowledge that lasts for years

List of observations

The more eyes underwater, the richer the picture. Operators also contribute through their tours.

Depending on the region, special sightings are possible — whether you are on your own or on a guided tour.
