A New Look, Community Events, and a Dive Shop Directory
June was the big one. The site got a whole new look, and the community and dive shop side of DiveJourney is finally real. Here is what you can use now:
🎨 A fresh look - DiveJourney got a full redesign this month: cleaner, calmer, and a lot easier to read on your phone. Same DiveJourney, just nicer to spend time in. Click around and tell me what you think.
🤿 Community events - the one I am most excited about. You can now post your own dive meetup and find others near you. Make it whatever you want: a shore or boat dive, a snorkel or freedive, a course, a cleanup, a photo walk, or just drinks after. It is the easiest way to meet new divers, and it is especially good when you travel: post a meetup where you are headed and find buddies before you land. Start one in about a minute, or RSVP to what is already happening. 👉 https://divejourney.io/community
🏪 A dive shop directory - there is now a real directory of dive shops at /dive-shops. Filter by location, what they do, and certification agency, open a full profile, and contact a shop directly, no more guessing who covers a spot. 👉 https://divejourney.io/dive-shops
❤️ Follow the places you love - hit Follow on any spot or destination and it shows up on your dashboard, with new activity and events brought to you by email so you do not have to keep checking back. This is the start of a proper feed: events, nearby divers, and the shops covering the places you care about will all flow through it as it grows. 👉 https://divejourney.io/dive-map
🌍 Now in Spanish, Portuguese, and French - we went from one extra language to three this month, so you and your dive buddies can browse the whole site in your own language. Still machine-translated and improving, and I also spent a big chunk of the month filling out dive-spot detail across the map.
⚡ Smoother everywhere - signed-out actions now pop a quick sign-in instead of bouncing you to a separate page, photos are faster and more reliable, and localized pages load quicker.
🔥 What's next - getting events in front of the right divers automatically (your follows and divers nearby), and more reasons for shops to show up and stay active. Vote on what I build next: https://divejourney.io/feedback
