Share Your Scuba Dive Stories and Opinions
It's Fun, Easy, and You Can Win a $50 Gift Certificate
You've read many of our scuba dive stories and opinions. Maybe you've agreed with them and maybe you haven't. Now you can get it off your chest. Share YOUR scuba dive stories, tips, tricks, photos, videos and anything else with us. All of the scuba divers out there would love to hear about your experiences and opinions and see those great photos or videos.
So jump in and tell us what dive resort should we avoid like the plague or what about that great divemaster that would make his mama proud? Perhaps you have a piece of dive equipment that was piece of junk - you can let your steam off here.
Maybe you take wonderful dive photos (I'm jealous) or videos. You can share them here. What was the most outrageous thing you've ever seen another diver do? I'd love to hear it. Always entertaining.
Whatever floats your boat. Let us hear all about your diving experiences. We can create a great, free resource for all divers. And you can win prizes with your submission.
Join Our Contest!
We have an ongoing scuba contest. The prize is a $50 Amazon Gift Certificate. All you have to do is share your scuba diving story, photo, tip, etc.
We will run a new contest every quarter so you have lots of chances to win.
Maybe it's your turn next.
