Faster Map + Bigger World + Log Flow + More

Overview

Two big weeks! The map is fast and filterable, there are way more places to explore across scuba, freediving, snorkeling, and chill hangouts, and adding spots or logging dives is now quick and simple, + some sweet profile badges when you cross different milestones.

🚀 What’s new

⚡ Massive Map Spot Expansion + More filters

Coverage is now much broader across scuba, freedive, snorkel, and low-key chill spots.

I rebuilt map clustering on the server because the dataset exploded. Result: smooth globe movement, clean cluster expansion, and deeper filtering integration on the map.

👉 Try it: Open the map, toggle a few tags, and zoom into your area.

🧭 Smarter tag filters

Filter by spot tags like cenote, wall, cave, shallow-freediving, wreck, shore, boat, and more. The map reflows in place without lag.

New Spot Tag Filters:

Reef, Wreck, Cave, Cenote, Wall, Pinnacle, Blue Hole, Artificial Reef, Lake, Lagoon, River, Kelp Forest, Muck, Deep, Indoor, Training Pool, Swim Spot, Snorkel Spot, Freedive Line Spot, Freedive, Chill Hangout, Great Scuba

📝 Add Spot & Log is stepped and intuitive rating system

A stepped flow shows only the minimum required to create a spot or log a dive. Casual users can be done in seconds. Power users can expand details for depth, conditions, gear, detailed rating aspects, and more.

The rating system UI and setting has been vamped up, easily see the ratings you care about, and set.

Easily see the ratings of a spot

Logs match the updated ratings UI

When adding new spots or logs, you now have range sliders and clear info helpes of what each level means.

🏅 Custom milestone badges

Badges now track real milestones: spots added, dives logged, freedive depth tiers, dive types, and location-based logs. Highest tiers surface first on your profile.

👋 New-user onboarding for complete, awesome profiles

New users now get a short onboarding that walks through:

• Profile basics (avatar, bio, home base, preferred modes)
• Privacy settings so your profile can be discoverable
• Your shareable profile link
• A nudge to add your first log if you haven't yet

👉 Finish yours: Your Profile Settings

Unit conversion settings

You're no longer locked into metric settings. You can set imperial, or mix and match.

• Celcius / Farenheit
• Meters / Feet
• Bar / PSI

These link up to both viewing spots/logs and submitting spots/logs. Everything is converted to and from your chosen units.
