Show information from divemeets.com to see a dive's history, or to view your own profile. Dive List Pro - an in-app purchase allows for tracking multiple lists of dives. Use it to keep track of your 1-meter, 3-meter, and platform lists, as well as Summer League, Junior and Senior USA Diving. Document the score of a given list for history. You can even track lists for multiple divers for your friends on the team, or the athletes you are coaching. Sharing Lists - also with Pro, you can share lists with other divers so they can load it into their app as well. Dive List Pro is required for both users.
