eDive is about divers and diving.
We wanted to put together a easy to use, minimum mouse click, system for every diver from beginner to instructor (and beyond). A full user guide is provided but many hours have been spent just getting the system to be as user friendly and simple to use – so no need for any type of computer literacy just common sense and of course a element of general understanding of diving!! – in other words we have spent hours, days, weeks etc pulling our hair out so you won’t have to !! No annoying popup screens, no getting lost. The system has been designed to be simple to use, yet does the complex work transparently for you.
Born out of a collective group of British divers who had heard the horrors of one too many a diver
who had lost his or her logbook to the deep. Had heard one too many a diver not even remotely thinking about planning
a dive even in its most simplest form. Had heard enough!
Divers are a strange breed of a specialised species, a breed that wants to enjoy the thrill of the
underwater realm and boast to everyone how wonderful it is in all its glory. As a group of divers, eDive was born,
with the sole purpose of bringing together the diving community so all could share their wonders of the aquatic world
and what it has to offer. We are merely divers with a collective experience and interest wishing to pursue
a simple, single goal.
Revenue generated from sales will help maintain this site and furthermore be donated to charities sponsoring or linked
to this site.
Primarily, its purpose is to help divers plan and log their dives in a safe and efficient way without
being over cumbersome. Secondary, it is about allowing you to log each and every dive site and to
globally share that dive site with every other diver.
eDive allows you to enter your divers, your equipment, your holidays and plan individual dives or a series of dives, tracking your residual nitrogen across your dives. Detailed hints and warnings inform you of data from previous dives along with any limits you may exceed. The plan is designed to be as easy as possible to build up an actual or theoretical dive plan. Not only intended for dive logging, it can be used as a teaching aid as well. Backing up the calculations in the planning screens, easy to use, selectable, dive tables are included to help you to learn how to use these correctly. Clicking on an area of the dive tables will provide you with further information.
We have put into eDive what we feel is needed. We are totally open to ideas and suggestions from other divers and will review any sent to us. Periodically we will send out updates to the application and the data and keep eDive fresh. The cost of the application is deliberately kept low with an initial cost for the application and a yearly fee to cover any updates. We want eDive to grow as the diving community needs it to. As we develop the software further, you will get the latest copies. We are part of this community and our passion for diving shows throughout our application. |
