Scubapro First to Support Deepblu Connect
Since its launch in November 2016, Deepblu’s rapidly expanding online community has grown to include tens of thousands of divers and ocean enthusiasts. Today Scubapro, the most iconic name in dive equipment, became the first to support the newly introduced Deepblu Connect, a feature that enables the Deepblu app to wirelessly interface directly with Scubapro’s line of Bluetooth-enabled dive computers.
With the push of a button, information from the Scubapro Aladin Sport (Matrix), Aladin H (Matrix) or the newly introduced Galileo 2 (G2) is wirelessly synchronized with the Deepblu app and stored in customizable, digital dive logs. This includes dive profiles, tank pressure levels, temperatures, depths and times. Divers then can enrich their logs with underwater photography and videography, store them in the cloud, and share them with their peers in the Deepblu community.
“We wanted to make dive logging on Deepblu accessible and easy for everyone, so we designed Deepblu Connect to be a convenient interface for Bluetooth-enabled dive computers to work with the app,” said Deepblu CEO James Tsuei. “We are excited to pilot the feature with Scubapro, one of the most reputable and forward-looking companies in the dive industry.”
New for 2017, the Scubapro G2 blends beauty and simplicity with technologically advanced computing and navigation. It sports a high-contrast, user-configurable color display, along with the intuitive menus and 3-button control system perfected in the original, award-winning Scubapro Galileo. Along with Bluetooth and a long list of advanced features, the G2 incorporates Scubapro’s patented Human Factor Diving™, which can monitor heart rate, skin temperature, breathing rate and water temperature to generate extremely reliable no-stop and decompression-stop calculations. The G2 stores up to 1,000 hours of dive profiles and its rechargeable battery lasts up to 50 dives.
“For more than 50 years, divers around the world have looked to Scubapro for the most innovative, advanced and intuitive products in the industry,” said Joe Stella, Group Vice President at Scubapro. “Divers are connected by a passion for what lies below the water’s surface and our support of Deepblu Connect will help those who put their trust in Scubapro’s dive computers to capture and share their experiences with the global community.”
Once dive logs are uploaded, recent updates to the Deepblu user interface make finding and tagging dive spots easier than ever. Divers can even leave ratings and reviews to help other divers, while gear enthusiasts can now complete their logs with information about nearly every piece of equipment they own.
Starting in August, Deepblu will hold a monthly dive-logging competition, allowing divers to earn badges they can showcase on their logs. The August winners will receive exciting prizes from Scubapro, including a G2 dive computer and other industry-leading Scubapro dive gear. To win, divers must accumulate praise for their logs from the Deepblu community and climb through the ranks from Dive Log of the Day to Dive Log of the Week and, ultimately, Dive Log of the Month.

May the 4th be with you!
Oyster Diving have recently been given exclusive access to offer scuba diving courses and fun dives at Mercers Lake, a beautiful lake near M25/Gatwick in the UK.
Oyster have just launched their own dive boat ‘The Blue Pear’ to explore various parts of the lake. Divers can glide around the underwater woodland, see lots of fish and decent visibility. Out of the water divers set up in the purpose built kitting up area, unwind in a warm shower, and off-gas in the café & licensed bar.
To celebrate the start of the summer season, AquaSports and Oyster Diving have teamed up to host a Star Wars-themed open day on the 4th May.
Guests will be able to enjoy discounted tasters of various watersports including Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), Canoeing and Sailing. Oyster Diving will be joined by Apeks and possibly other dive manufacturers to display their latest products. Demo gear will be available for qualified divers and Oyster’s sales support team will be on hand for customers with any questions.
Divers wishing to get in the water will need to book in via Oyster Diving’s website where you can also choose to hire any equipment. Non-divers and well behaved dogs are very welcome!
As well as the watersports there will also be music, food and a licensed bar. The fun starts at 10am and finishes around 4.30pm.
Please come along, wear your finest Stormtrooper or Princess Leia outfit and enjoy the fun!
