Log the dive. Name what you saw. Keep both in one place. Oceanus is a scuba and freediving logbook with an AI marine species identifier built in. Record depth, time, tank and conditions — then point your camera at a fish and pin it to the dive it came from. THE LOGBOOK - Log by hand in under a minute: date and time, duration, max and average depth, location - Import straight from a .FIT file exported by a Garmin dive computer, depth profile included - Read the depth profile as a chart on the detail screen - Scuba and freediving are both first-class types - Conditions: salt, fresh or brackish water, water temperature, visibility from poor to excellent - Gear: suit from shorty through 3/5/7 mm wetsuit, semi-dry and drysuit; tank from aluminum 63 through steel 120, doubles and sidemount; start and end pressure - Free-text title and notes on every entry - Link the species you identified to the dive they belong to - Everything syncs to your account and follows you to any device you sign in on AI SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - Point the camera at a fish, shark, ray or invertebrate and get an identification back - Species profiles with scientific name, depth range, geographic regions, danger level and conservation status - Browse the catalog by category: fish, sharks, rays, mammals, reptiles, mollusks, crustaceans, cnidarians - Save any species to favorites - Everything you identify joins your personal collection DIVERS, NOT JUST DIVES - Find divers by nickname, follow them, and watch their diving arrive in the Friends feed - Like the ones you enjoyed - 34 achievements, from your first identification to a full-category sweep - A global leaderboard scored on Ocean Score, recalculated nightly: species x10, identifications x2, achievements x25, streak x5 - A certification wallet for your scuba, freediving, specialty and first-aid cards. Medical entries stay private and are never published. - Share an entry as a sticker sized for Instagram Stories PREMIUM Premium unlocks AI Dive Story: turn a photo from a diving trip into a cinematic underwater scene. A monthly generation limit applies and is shown in the app. WHO IT IS FOR Recreational scuba divers who want the logbook on their phone instead of in a soggy paper book. Freedivers. Snorkelers. Anyone who surfaces with a photo of a fish and no idea what it was. Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian. Oceanus does not replace your dive computer and is not a dive planner. It does not calculate decompression or no-stop limits. Always dive within your training and follow your computer.

Verdict

The call
