See the Weather Behind Every Dive in Your Log

Think back to your best dive. You probably remember the depth and the marine life. Do you remember the wind? Whether the surface was glassy or choppy? How cold it was on the boat afterwards?

Your dive log now remembers for you. DiveHub shows the weather at the dive site on the day of your dive, right alongside the rest of your dive details.

Why weather belongs in your dive log

A dive log is more than a list of numbers. It is the history of what happened, and the weather is a big part of that history.

• Understand how a dive felt. That tiring surface swim makes more sense when the log shows a strong wind that day.
• Spot patterns. Compare the days you had your best visibility with the conditions around them, and learn what makes a site shine.
• Plan your next trip. See what a site is usually like at the time of year you are thinking of going back.
• Share a fuller story. When you share a dive with other divers, the conditions help them picture what it was really like.

What you will see

For each dive site and date, DiveHub shows hourly weather for the daytime hours at the site, from 03:00 to 22:00 local time. Each hour includes:

• the conditions, such as clear, cloudy or rain
• temperature and what it felt like
• wind speed and direction
• cloud cover
• humidity
• air pressure
• visibility above the surface

Times are shown in the local time of the dive site, so a dive in Egypt reads like a day in Egypt, wherever you happen to be viewing it from.

Your past dives are covered too

You don't need to do anything special as you dive. Weather is looked up from the dive site and the date, so it works for dives you log today and for older dives in your logbook. Once the weather for a past day has been recorded, it stays the same, so the history of your dive doesn't change later.

Weather for today and for the days ahead is also available, which is handy when you are planning your next dive.

Why it matters?

Understanding your progress as a diver means knowing what was happening during your dive. If you find your gas consumption was worse on a windy day, or you are diving deeper when the sun is shining then you can factor that into your plans. Weather will always be a factor on a dive and when you look back on your own history it is important to see what was happening and why.

A note on what weather means here

This is the weather at the dive site, above the water. It is a useful piece of context, but it is not a replacement for checking local marine forecasts and talking to the dive operator before you get in the water. Sea state, currents and tides are not included.

Try it

Open any dive in your log that has a dive site attached and take a look. If you want to bring in your older dives first, our Importing Dives guide shows you how.
