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.

Super Dive Log & Planner combines all of the features of a first-class dive log with an integrated world-class dive planner that learns from the dives you log. It is simple enough for recreational divers on their first open water dives, but grows with you through technical and DIR diving. THE LOG • Integrates with all popular dive computers to display your complete profile • Record dive sites with GPS, or look them up in a built-in library of more than 13,000 sites • Marine life sightings with lookups from iNaturalist, OBIS and WoRMS, and a live list of what lives near any site • Track what you wore, the gear you used, and how it all made you feel • Draw in your narrative — a site map, the route around a wreck — with Apple Pencil, a finger, or the mouse. • Conditions fetched for every logged dive: the tide, weather, water column and currents that were actually running • Embed your photos • Gear tracking with service reminders; statistics across your whole history • The log correctly handles diving with drysuits, sidemount, CCR/SCR, trimix, stages, etc. THE PLANNER • Helps you balance your rig by estimating how much lead you’ll need based on your gear and dive history • What to wear, learned from what actually kept you warm at that temperature • Bühlmann ZH-L16 A/B/C decompression planning with gradient factors, tested to match Decoplanner • Recreational no-deco limits, Technical mode, and a DIR mode implementing GUE procedures — standard gases, minimum gas, staged ascent rates, oxygen breaks — tested to match Decoplanner • Helps you plan your dive with information about the current, expected visibility, expected wildlife, tides, and weather • Nitrox, trimix, SCR and CCR with setpoints • Lost-gas contingencies and deeper/longer what-ifs, priced into gas requirements • Altitude, water type and salinity handled throughout SITES AND DIVE SHOPS • A library of more than 13,000 dive sites worldwide, plus your own • Surroundings: charted depth, protected areas, wrecks with their history, today's reef reading • The site on a nautical chart (NOAA, EMODnet, GEBCO). • Dive shops, fill stations and clubs near you or near a site, with hours and directions YOUR COMPUTER, YOUR OLD LOGBOOK • Bluetooth downloads from all major dive computer brands • Imports from Subsurface, MacDive, Diving Log 6.0, Shearwater Cloud, divelogs.de, Ratio, DAN DL7, UDDF, Garmin FIT, Suunto, CSV, and Apple Watch Ultra dives from Apple Health • Two-way with divelogs.de: import your dives, and send new ones back to your account • Export your dives to DAN in DL7 format, the file DAN's dive-data tools read • Manage up to six logbooks at a time AI INTEGRATION • On Mac, a built-in MCP server opens your log to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client • Use AI to maintain your logbook, fix import errors, and plan your dives EVERYWHERE YOU DIVE • iPhone, iPad and Mac with iCloud sync • Twenty-eight languages • Local-first storage; your logbook stays yours • No account required Logging is unlimited and free. Premium planning features are free for your first week. Dive planning software is a tool, not training. Always plan and dive within the limits of your certification, verify schedules against your training and tables, and carry a dive computer. No algorithm can guarantee you will not get decompression sickness. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
