Live dive site conditions

Live, site-specific conditions for 32,000+ dive sites across more than 190 countries — wind, swell, current, tides and water temperature, distilled into a clear Good / Fair / Rough verdict with the best window to dive. Updated through the day. Then book the dive.

The most comprehensive catalogue of dive sites with live, site-specific conditions — physics-based, not a generic marine forecast.

What you get for every site

Wind
Speed and direction at the site.
Swell & waves
Height, period and direction.
Sea current
Modelled speed and set where available.
Tides
Times and heights, per site.
Water temperature
So you know the wetsuit.
A clear verdict
Good / Fair / Rough with a 1–5 score and the best window — not just raw numbers to interpret.

Conditions are planning guidance, not a go/no-go safety call. Always assess conditions in person and check with the local dive operator before entering the water.

Frequently asked questions

What is DiveConnect’s live dive conditions?

Live, site-specific ocean conditions for 32,000+ dive sites worldwide — wind, swell, current, tides and water temperature — distilled into a clear Good/Fair/Rough planning verdict with a 1–5 score and the best window to dive. It updates through the day, and every site links straight to the operators who dive there so you can book.

How many dive sites does it cover?

32,000+ dive sites across more than 190 countries and territories — the most comprehensive catalogue of dive sites with live, site-specific conditions. If a site is missing, you can add it.

What conditions does it show?

For every site: wind speed and direction, swell/wave height, period and direction, modelled sea current, tide times and heights, and water temperature — summarised as a Good/Fair/Rough verdict with a 1–5 score and the best window.

How current is the data?

Conditions are updated intraday, not stamped once a day — if a site is rough at 8am and eases by afternoon, the verdict changes with it. Each reading carries the time it was computed.

Where does the data come from and is it accurate?

From the Copernicus Marine Service — the EU’s public operational ocean-forecasting system — with per-site tidal prediction and a nearshore physics layer, validated against independent ocean buoys. See our methodology for exactly how it works and how we measure accuracy.

Can I use it to decide whether it’s safe to dive right now?

No — it is planning guidance, not a go/no-go safety call. Local, real-time factors (surge, runoff, boat traffic, recent weather) can change a site in ways no model sees. Always assess in person and check with the local operator before entering the water.

Can I book a dive?

Yes. DiveConnect is a marketplace as well as a conditions resource — every site links to the dive shops, instructors and trips that run there, so you can go from “what’s it like today?” to a booking in the same place.
