Your next trip starts with Ocean Buddy. Explore more than 700 spots for surfing, diving, snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking and other water sports. Pick an activity, browse regions and discover each destination through images (photos or, when none is available, clearly labeled illustrations), practical details and a map for each activity. Information still being verified is clearly marked. PLAN YOUR TRIP Create an itinerary, add stops, organize dates and keep your notes in one place. Save your favorites and share a copy of your trip. TAKE TIME TO EXPLORE Browse immersive galleries and get to know each spot: activities, skill level guidance, access and things to watch out for. If you like, turn on ambient sound and subtle terrain shading. Weather conditions with timestamps help you prepare when you’re online. SHARE WITH CARE When the community is available, read approved tips or sign in with your email to suggest a review, a spot or a selected copy of your trip. Contributions are checked by a person before they become visible. Your notes and other private details are shared only if you select them in the preview. MEET POULPY Poulpy joins you as you explore: it answers your questions right in the app, from Ocean Buddy’s spot pages and guides, even offline. Its tips do not replace local information. KEEP YOUR JOURNAL WITH YOU The catalog and included photos remain available offline. Your favorites, trips and notes are stored on your device. Weather, map tiles and the community require an internet connection. Ocean Buddy helps you plan an outing. Actual conditions, local guidance and your instructors or guides always take priority. The app does not book services and does not replace required qualifications or a marine navigation or diving tool.
