# DiveJourney (divejourney.io)

> DiveJourney is a global dive map and logbook for scuba, freediving, and snorkeling. It combines an interactive map, country and destination guides, and dive spot detail pages with community logs, ratings, photos, and conditions. Divers use it to discover places, build bucket lists, plan trips, log dives, see overlap with other travelers, and connect with buddies; dive shops use it to publish profiles, attach to spots and destinations, and capture direct booking leads.

Primary discovery surfaces: /dive-map (interactive map), /countries (country guides), /destinations (destination guides), and /dive-spots/{slug} (spot detail pages).

Best planning entry points: Start Here, Countries, and Destinations. These aggregate seasons, highlights, trip context, and spot clusters.

Dive spot pages include conditions, photos, community logs, ratings, nearby context, and shop associations when available.

DiveJourney also includes trip overlaps, bucket lists (saved spots/destinations/countries), and community layers to find divers nearby.

Shiplog (/shiplog) documents shipped features like trip overlaps, messaging, dive logs, community map, and shop partner programs.

Dive shop surfaces: /dive-shop-accounts (plans + onboarding), /dive-shop-partners (destination partner program). Public shop profiles live at /dive-shop/{slug}.

Map query params: ?spot=slug, ?country=ISO2-or-slug, ?destination=slug, ?view=destinations|shops|community, ?types=csv, ?tags=csv, ?entry=entry-type, ?search=term, plus optional lat/lng/zoom.

Authenticated experiences (dashboards, messaging, trip planning, logs, buddies, notifications, shop analytics) require login and are not listed here.

Safety and legal: /dive-safe-leave-no-trace, /how-divejourney-makes-money, /privacy, /terms. DiveJourney is not a training agency, tour operator, insurer, or booking intermediary unless a page explicitly says otherwise; safety info is general.
