Diveboard
About project
Diveboard is the largest online scuba logbook used by millions of people around the world.. It is the place for scuba divers to keep and share their diving memories. It allows users to check out different dive sites, learn about marine life, and interact with other fellow divers.
Launched in 2010, Diveboard’s technology needed an upgrade to meet current user needs.. So, our team was tasked with completely modernizing the web service. We had to replace the old Python technology with React and extend the list of features. The main focus was made on introducing the offline mode.
Main goals of the project
- Rebuild the web platform with the needs of modern divers in mind.
- Improve the overall usability and navigation of the website to provide divers with a seamless and intuitive experience.
- Make the website more accessible to divers of all abilities by following accessibility guidelines and incorporating features such as alternative text for images, keyboard navigation, and high contrast options.
Challenges and solutions
Our team has worked out the optimal algorithm to replace the relational database with the non-relational one, which allows building the service without back-end development.
Offline mode has been added to make the data exchange possible even with a poor Internet connection.
Our team has implemented support for UDCF files for a fast and convenient dive profile uploading.
A computer plugin has been set up to ensure a direct connection of the computer to the platform and files exchange. The plugin supports 60 computer models so far.

We have come up with the solution of how to extract the information from the photo to be shown beside it in the gallery section.
Our team has established the integration with 2 largest global biodiversity information facilities – GBIF and Encyclopedia of Life, which granted the platform users the access to the database of over 2 million species.
We have integrated the platform with Google maps to give the users access to a database of over 2000 dive spots all over the world.
We have created an integration with the Stripe payment system for accepting donations.
