The dive score

One number out of 10, for every site, every day.

Each site knows which way it faces, so NEDS can tell which spots are protected from the wind. Visibility counts most: a 9 or better needs 25 ft of visibility.

Gets smarter as we dive

The more of us who log dives, the better the scores get.

Forecast models can't see the water. Divers can. Every visibility report fine-tunes that site's score for everyone.
