Dive Wise is a scuba dive planner, dive logbook, underwater camera, and site mapper built for divers who want one private toolkit on their phone. Plan dives, log dives fast, color-correct underwater photos and videos, map dive sites, and review your dive history without creating an account. Dive Wise is offline-first: your dive data stays on your device unless you choose to export, back up, or share it. PLAN SAFER DIVES - Build recreational or technical dive plans with NDL, gas, turn pressure, MOD, ppO2, CNS, OTU, and decompression information. - Use Buhlmann ZHL-16C with Gradient Factors or VPM-B with conservatism levels. - Plan multi-gas, multi-level, nitrox, trimix, and CCR dives. - Check range plans, gas blending, altitude settings, repetitive dives, air breaks, tides, and weather. LOG DIVES FASTER - Add a dive in seconds with a customizable quick-entry wizard. - Check in by GPS and prefill site, gear, gas, conditions, buddy, and operator details. - Detect dives automatically with compatible depth sensors. - Sync supported Shearwater computers over Bluetooth and avoid duplicate logs. - Import and export UDDF, JSON, and CSV, with full local backup and restore. CAPTURE BETTER UNDERWATER MEDIA - Use an underwater camera designed for diving, not land. - Auto-detect water type and apply real-time color correction. - Adjust correction by depth, red/magenta filters, strobes, and custom presets. - Use Pro controls such as ISO, shutter, white balance, focus, zoom, histogram, zebras, focus peaking, level, grid, compass, and safe-area overlays where supported. - Keep photos and videos grouped by dive session and linked to the matching dive log. EXPLORE YOUR DIVE HISTORY - View dives on a world map with grouped site markers. - Track stats, personal records, SAC trends, countries, buddies, and milestones. - Search your logbook with 14 filters and save presets. - Auto-group trips by country and date. - Map dive sites with waypoints, routes, depth profiles, hazards, marine life, and offline bathymetry tiles. MANAGE GEAR AND DIVE DATA - Save cylinders, gas mixes, gear templates, exposure suits, weights, and accessories. - Track equipment, certifications, buddies, operators, and maintenance reminders. - Identify and reference marine life with an offline species database. - Choose your units: meters or feet, Celsius or Fahrenheit, bar or psi, kilograms or pounds.
