New App: Scuba Calendar – Available Now on the App Store
Customize Your Scuba Diving Excursion and Track Wildlife with New App Scuba Calendar – Available Now on the App Store.
Plan the perfect scuba diving vacation with the unique new app Scuba Calendar! This one-of-a-kind iOS app helps users create a custom travel itinerary based on the marine wildlife they want to see at the specific time of year. The app then determines the geographic locations where the chosen marine life is most likely to be spotted. Besides being a powerful tool for trip planning, Scuba Calendar inspires a spirit of conservation by including interesting information and facts about each animal. This includes each animals’ status under the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and its classification under CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). Scuba Calendar is available for download on the App Store.
In addition to creating customized scuba trips, Scuba Calendar serves as a social platform for divers all around the world to contribute as citizen scientists. They can report on their own sightings, share photos and log the environmental situation of the dive site (such as marine debris, corals in distress, etc.) for collective data purposes. The Scuba Calendar app was developed by a husband and wife team who are passionate about scuba diving, traveling and environmental conservation. They want to share that enthusiasm with other divers whether novice or advanced.
“Our years of trip planning and first-hand experiences in the scuba world contributed to creating Scuba Calendar,” explains Katarina Grgas Brus, co-developer of Scuba Calendar. “So many people may have their dream vacation in mind but not have the logistical data available to determine just where and when the ideal conditions are.”
Scuba Calendar includes over 400 locations across 70 countries and over 30 popular marine species. Once a country is selected, the Country Page shows types and locations of other marine life likely to be spotted in that country. It also includes valuable information like local diving regulations, environmental sustainability recommendations, hyperbaric chambers and typical weather conditions for specific times of the year.
Plot an exploration of the briny blue or simply fantasize about that dream vacation – download Scuba Calendar from the App Store now!

Cozy and warm in cold water.
It’s drysuit season all year round. With the new RS series premium drysuits from DYNAMICNORD, divers are perfectly equipped for all cold waters.
The sophisticated cut of the RS drysuits allows complete freedom of movement, providing maximum comfort. The high-quality 350 g/m² ripstop material with double ripstop zones on the elbows, knees, and crotch protect ensures extreme robustness as well as long life.
The suit’s features leave nothing to be desired: A high-quality TiZip zipper, easily adjustable inlet and outlet valves, upgradeable with electrically heated underwear, HP bottleneck cuffs made of high-strength latex on the wrists, a 3mm neoprene neck cuff for maximum comfort, a 7mm hood with air outlet and 3mm boots made of double-sided, cross-layered neoprene with ankle straps and fin strap stoppers and a protective but very flexible sole.
Noteworthy is the Molle fastening system, which can be used in a variable and compatible manner. This way, the two detachable leg pockets can be attached easily, safely and comfortably.
Alterations of boots to a different shoe size or adjustments to neck or wrist cuffs are done free of charge at the own DYNAMICNORD service centre in Germany in only a couple of days.
The matching Dynaskins made with high-quality Polartec® technology are available in various designs. As an undersuit under the drysuit, as a single suit in warm waters or as a two-piece suit. Polartec® technology’s main features are neutral buoyancy, breathablilty and quick-drying.
