ScubaRogue combines source-backed destination notes, operator signals and advanced-diver judgement into one planning layer: level, depth, current, wildlife, seasonality, certifications, gear and cost envelope.
Not every site is for every diver. Capability fit is explicit.
Trips are tagged by the dives you actually want to do.
Planning includes the realities that change the day.
Nitrox, Deep, Wreck, Rescue and exposure fit are visible.
Use for region notes, seasonality, access, marine life and training-agency context.
Use for SSI training and dive-center ecosystem context until approved feeds are available.
Use as a UX/operator reference for trip cards, trust signals, local dive-product detail and relationship planning.
Defines how ScubaRogue uses public references, operator-submitted data and approved APIs without blind scraping.
