Why Diving Hubs is free
Community-specific, not nationwide
The paid apps charge because they cover every county in the country. We only cover the areas our community uses, and staying narrow is what keeps it free.
Free public data
We source maps and boundaries from free public GIS portals instead of licensing an expensive nationwide dataset, so there is no per-user data bill to pass on.
No account, no paywall
Every core tool works in a browser and in the app with no signup. A free account only adds syncing so your spots and plans follow you between devices.
FAQ
Common questions
Yes. Diving Hubs offers free dive-site info, conditions, and a logbook, plus a directory of local dive shops and charters, with no subscription.
No. Browsing sites and conditions is free; a free account only syncs your logbook across devices.
We stay region-specific and community-sourced instead of running a global platform, so the core dive tools stay free.
