Introducing Dive Hub
Dive Hub was developed to help divers find and share dive spots close to you. When I (Tom Rutledge) first started diving I found it difficult to find people to dive with and sites to dive. After joining a local club I was able to connect with several new divers and have made some great friends in the process. One thing that was still lacking was information on dive sites. I created this site in the hopes that many divers will share their favorite dive sites.
