Deepblu is an online community for divers and ocean enthusiasts.
The dive industry is a slow-moving industry where technology is evolving at a limited speed due to the technical threshold and market size. As a team of enthusiastic divers with a tech background, their goal is to bring divers together via a new and intuitive app.They developed their own dive computer, COSMIQ+, with an app that has dive log cloud syncing as well as social sharing features. Now they are providing what most divers consider to be a top priority - dive trip booking. There are many platforms on the internet which provide dive-related booking, but most of them came in with a more traditional OTA approach. They feel there's a need for more human interaction in the process, so they created a marketplace where dive businesses can list their services on the platform, and divers can chat directly with dive shop owners, making for a personal experience.
