Ask HN: Is there a good startup for divers?

2 pointsbitboxer3 comments

Just out of curiosity : I am starting to learn diving this month and searched the web for sites related to diving.

There are tons of web 2.0 startups for runners to log their runs, to communicate with other runners. But I can't find a web 2.0 startup for divers. The only sites I am finding look like they were designed in 1996.

Does anybody know a good site? If not, this smells like a good startup, doesn't it ?

I would think that your normal diver has much, much more metadata to upload/download than a runner. A runner doesn't carry a cell phone camera, a small portable digital camera, a big digital camera w/ underwater housing, and a video camera when they run.

So yeah, I'd think that if you could offer a community where they could do lots of stuff (love the Google Maps idea) then you could have a chance.

Hum... like a location aware/social version of log book?

Add a google map/streetview (err underwater view) and pictures...

Yeah. I am wondering why I can't find one. Isn't this an obvious idea?
