We had overwhelming hits on our previous post, There's an App for That (Scuba Version) on the Blog Action Day. We thought it was great way to share what we gathered in one place. Up and coming website, Appboy.com allows us to do that. We favorited and put a lot of Scuba Diving and Ocean Related mobile apps that may be of your interest on our AppBoy profile. You can directly purchase apps from DivingList's profile.

The mobile platforms that they are currently supporting are iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and Palm Pre. And we included them all.

One problem we ran into is that all the apps we saved are not appearing. We will keep you posted, but bookmark our AppBoy Profile and Stay Tuned: http://appboy.com/divinglist/

7 photographs. 7 captions. 7 prizes.
The last post of the day goes to Dive Junkie. They are currently running a contest on their Facebook Fan Page.

From Blog Action Day Action:

This year's Blog Action Day topic is... Climate Change. You as a scuba diver may not think that it may directly affect you. But there are a lot of small factors involved, and as a whole, it may come to affect all of us in a big way.

We did some researches. We also borrowed ideas from this website, Center for American Progress. (Actual Article HERE) Based on the ideas, we put some thoughts out there.

You might wonder why the title of today's post is "There's an app for that." Well, we're sharing some "app" ideas and how scuba divers can utilize them to protect our environment. Why mobile application? We're sure you might be aware of the decrease in the forest, pollution, carbon dioxide, climate change... Not-so preferable cycle.



[caption id="attachment_573" align="alignleft" width="176" caption="Seafood Watch by Moterey Bay Aquarium"][/caption]

Seafood Watch by Monterey Bay Aquarium (iPhone/Mobile Web Application)
There have been many write-ups about Seafood Watch. We've read them all including app reviews on iTune App Store. We also know that there are handy pocket guides for Sushi available by other organizations. What's so different about this? First, it's a mobile application. It'll go anywhere with you even if you are in another country on vacation, trying that popular seafood. Is it good for you? What you choose may make a big difference.

The Sushi guide nicely comes with the Japanese Name and the common market name (quoted from Seafood Watch website), easy to read, and color-code lets you know which sushi would be your best bet while dining at your favorite restaurant.

There are 2 things involved in this small change - protecting your ocean and beautiful sea creatures by being aware and practicing to select sustainable seafood.

Don't have an iPhone? No problem. Visit: http://mobile.seafoodwatch.org

And all in all, there's an app for Seafood Choices, for Free.

Where by Where.com (Android/iPhone/BlackBerry/Palm Pre Application)

One of the reasons why you might go away for a day or on a vacation is probably because of that unknown adventure. To explore the local town, shop at local stores, or just walk around is always interesting. But where can you go? Asking hotel employees may be one thing but knowing "where" to go is another.

Where can help you all that. On your next trip, take "Where" with you. You can find Local Weather, Gas Prices (and Gas Stations), Traffic Information, access to Yelp to find restaurants (with phone numbers and address) and reviews, and you can even find Starbucks near you when you need a warm cup of tea after the dive.

How is this going to help divers to be sustainable? Think of it this way. You can find the information you need right in your hand at all time, no reason to drive around for hours trying to find places even if you are on a short dive trip.

This application is a GPS mobile application. This means you'll have to have a satellite enabled service to use.

DiveLocator (iPhone Application)

Originally found the post on Scubaboard.com, DiveLocator is an iPhone application that provides an information on Dive Sites with a visual map (Google Map). Not only that, you can find the current condition in surrounding area with 2 tide tables.

How is this going to help divers? No more Print-Out maps. This also would potentially decrease the amount of time you'd be driving to find that hidden dive site.

PS> They also are accepting dive site information to grow their database. Click on the title above to visit the post from Scubaboard.com for more info.

Rent Cycle by RentCycle.com (Web application)


The reason why we picked RentCyle.com is because of their idea - reduce.reuse.rent. Rent Cycle can be potentially great for dive operators in vacation destination. Why? Well... Rent Cyle allows your customers to reserve rental gears and pay before their tour begins right at their finger tips. This web application has easy 3 steps for setup. First, you register. Second, you put the link to your Rent Cycle store on your website. Third, let customer book their rental gears and pay. All administration is done over the web. You can technically manage it from anywhere.

One of the great things we discovered about this service is you can create the store today with up to 5 items for free of charge. Features include an inventory management, online confirmation, payment processing, reservation systems, reports, and SMS (Short Messaging Services) to list a few.

How is this helping your dive business? Because you don't need papers to track everything. You are recycling other people's ideas to a good use, and reducing the cost but still renting.

Dive Log Mobile Applications (Platform varys)

Some of the things we discovered during our research is that a lot of people are interested in mobile scuba diving applications, iPhone applications in particular. For instance, if you run a search for "scuba diving application iphone" on Google, you'll probably see a lot of forum entries by fellow divers seeking "it" app.

The use of mobile application on your mobile device make small differences, like reducing the use of the paper, decreasing the driving time, calculating

After all, we decided to put a list here. Our research went so far and some divers that actually use listed software are unable to get back to us on time. But here's what we found:

• iScubaPlan (Originally posted on DiveVets.com) - Recreational Scuba Diving Application for iPhone/iPod


• DiveLog (Originally posted on DiveVets.com) - Full featured Scuba Diving Logbook for iPhone/iPod


• iDeco (Originally posted on DiveVets.com) - Multi-Level dives/Multiple Dive planner for Technical Diving for iPhone/iPod


• V-Planner - King of Technical Diving Planning Software for Windows Mobile Phones and iPhone/iPod


• Mix Blender - Full function Gas Blending (Nitrox/Trimix) Application for iPhone/iPod


• Dive Assistant - Dive Planning, Dive Equipment Management, Dive Table Reference for Pocket PC


• My Deco Plan - Full Function Decompression Dive Planning Application on the web

So, what else can you do to be a sustainable diver?

Note:
All rights for the software/application listed above are reserved by its creator/owner/developer/business.
The result of this list is solely based on our researches and other divers. If you have other applications that you'd like to share, feel free to use the comment area below.
We also will add more as we hear back from our fellow divers.
We also would like to thank those who helped us today (and during our research) to make this post happen.

This year's topic is "Climate Change." DivingList will be posting "something" interesting for readers some time tomorrow. (can't tell you when, okay?)

To support this good cause and to raise the awareness, we also would like to ask you for help. If you have your own blog, please register it at http://blogactionday.org/ and post an entry on Climate Change tomorrow.

But we'd like to go one step more. If you give us a link to your blog entry any time tomorrow, we will keep the list going for the scuba diving community and publish it with a list of Blog Action Day Participants at a later date as our thanks. (remember, we are the list after all...)

• ANY DUPLICATE ENTRY will be removed and will NOT be listed

The more people are aware of the issue, the better.  We want to help you and need your help. Please retweet this post or forward it to your friends who have blogs. It's only once a year.

From random search:

We ran into this website - Functravel.com and let us tell you why we want to post this website. It's because... it'll search the cheapest airfare all in one shot. Well-known website, Kayak.com does the same thing, but what we liked about this website is the straight-forwardness of the website. You type in where you are flying from and to, put dates, and hit go. All the filters that you can apply is easy to navigate also, and the results are listed in easy-to-read grid.

Royal West Indies Resort is a beach-front resort located in Turks and Caicos Islands. They offer spacious accommodations from studio to 2 bedroom suites.

And don't forget to check out Dive Provo: http://www.diveprovo.com/

Let's go!

From Random Search:

Some of you may have seen the posting on sportdiver.com, but we really thought it is good to post on DivingList to spread the word. After searching and searching, we ended up on etahititravel.com for all Tahiti travel needs. The website lists quite a few specials on the home page, but why look at them when they have a page dedicated to Scuba Diving! There are about 10-12 packages listed. All levels of divers are accommodated, according to the post, and the diving is offered by TopDive.

Check Out: http://www.etahititravel.com/packages/packagemain.aspx#5

Thinking Bora yet?

From Random Search:

We ran into this post on concierge.com, where the great deals on the Bahamian getaways were posted. It's up to 40% off... nope, we're not kidding. The article is really well written. Why? Well, it'll tell you where you can stay (and website and phone numbers you can call), the pricing, how much you'd be saving,  and when you need to complete the travel by. In addition to that, there is a section for the airfare. That's really a one-stop editor's picks!

Check out: http://www.concierge.com/cntraveler/blogs/perrinpost/2009/09/bahamas-cheap-vacations.html

We think those hotels are pretty cool, being that they are the "editor's picks."

Are you ready for a quick getaway?

From tips:

We got an insider tip that Dive Junkie is holding the "High on Nitrogen" giveaway from tomorrow (or may be this evening if you live in the US time zone) The giveaway is held over their Facebook Fan page. All you have to do is become Dive Junkie fan and post a wall comment with "I want to win a Dive Junkie Hamper" or "I want to win Asian Diver Subscription." Isn't that easy???

Here's the blurb that'll be announced:

2. "The High On Nitrogen Giveaway" contest starts on the 08th September and ends on the 30th September 2009 12 midnight, Singapore time.

 

3. Winners will be picked based on a random draw.

If you think your friends will like a Dive Junkie Hamper or an Asian Diver Subscription or simply because you think they should check out Dive Junkie, please help spread the word about "The High On Nitrogen Giveaway" contest  to your friends.

From our (small) inbox to FB to..:

We're going to the triple post today because... it's one of our team members' birthday tomorrow!

First post is Dive Photo Guide (http://www.divephotoguide.com). We received a note earlier with notifying that there are ONLY a few spots left for their Walindi Resort, Papua New Guinea trip in October of 2010. As you may know, they are closely working with NYUPS (New York Underwater Photographic Society - http://www.nyups.org) and DPG's expedition trip is one of the reputable ones (and well-known one) in the scuba industry. If you haven't seen the sardine photos by Jason from their previous trip, you missed something.

For more info on their 2010 trip, visit: http://www.divephotoguide.com/underwater-photography-expedition/papua_new_guinea_underwater_photo_video_festival_2010/

Second post is... O'Three. While digging up some links on Facebook, we ran into O'Three, UK based Dive, Surface, and Surf shop. Visiting their online store, we discovered that they are doing some Summer Sale on Oceanic BCD, Viper Fins, Regulator, and V16 split fins.

For more info, visit: http://www.shop.othree.co.uk/saleitems/cat_saleItems.html

Last post of the day, we fly to the beautiful Indonesia. Tasik Ria Resort Spa & Diving, which happened to be one of our fans on Facebook. While checking out their website, we ran into the Price List. (of course...) Their 3-day diving package is very reasonable. And don't forget... the resort looks very nice!!! To convince your non-diver family member(s), you can suggest their spa treatment while you are diving. (hint hint)

Check out: http://www.tasikria.com/

So, which one is your favorite post of the day?

From Our (small) Inbox:

We received a note last night in regards to the Annual Soiree by Iemanya Oceanica, the non-profit foundation dedicated to the conservation of sharks, rays, and their habitats. You may know them as "Adopt-A-Shark" of Adapotashark.com - Adopt a Shark is one of their programs.

This upcoming September 17, 2009, Iemanya Oceanica is hoting an annual soiree at the Skirball Cultural Center in the beautiful City of Angels (Los Angels). (Invitation is on the left.) From 6pm, it starts with Mako Martini Auction to Live Entertainment to honoring of Councilman Ed Reyes for his conservation efforts, the ticket to this soiree starts from $100.

However... we are not going to disappoint you (remember, we find things...) We were able to obtain the promotional code from the Iemanya Oceanica to get $25 off of the ticket!!!

To purchase the ticket(s), go to: https://co.clickandpledge.com/sp/d1/default.aspx?wid=28326
And use the promotional code of "2Sharksfor1" at the Checkout.

Why not help sharks & rays, have fun at the soiree with people who care about them in the City of Angels? The promotion does not last too long and the space is limited.

At DivingList, we care very much about marine and environmental conservations. Please, if you know of anyone who cares about sharks and rays, kindly share the links for this event.

From Our Twitter Following:

As we reflect back on how our website grew, we realized we had to go back to the source of the word-spreading and return the love back to people who have helped us where we are today. So, we went back to Twitter. We speak to a lot of people there, some reply back, some ignore, some retweet our post, and some send the love back to us. (yup, we've been lucky.)

So today, we're featuring one of our tweeps (Twitter Peeps), @new_horizon

New Horizon, the premium dive charter, offers great scuba diving and snorkeling tour in Cairns, Australia. How great is it, you may ask. Let us start by saying that they have 6 reefs they can take you to. (did we say Great Barrier Reefs?) They also do this by taking only a small group of people at a time so that you get full attention you deserve during the trip. Not only that, they include all meals, offer hot shower and towels & linens etc. to list a few. And you know what they want you to bring out of everything? "Be ready for a fantastic time."

Their diving package starts from AU$160 (as of today, it's about 137 US dollars.) for 4 dives. What's more, all paid dives include all necessary scuba diving equipment at no extra charge. Who would offer that nowadays!!!

Let us also add that peeps from New Horizon will answer you if you have any questions. They will talk to you on Twitter, e-mail, or whatever. You may wonder why we bolded letters - it's important that you ask questions, it's very important any dive operators answer honestly & clearly in your language so that you have fab experience.

Got a tip from our new tweeting buddy, @LasseHarkanen, that Coca-Cola (yes, that Coke.) and the Honua Kai Cafe Resort & Spa in Ka'anapali, Maui (Hawaii) have been running sweepstakes!

For those who do not know, Coke has their own reward program called My Coke Reward. You drink Coke, go to the website, http://www.mycokerewards.com, sign up, enter the number on the bottle cap. (no purchase necessary) As you gain points, you have a choice of using your points to exchange with "goods" or to enter yourself in one of those sweepstakes like a vacation to the beautiful island of Maui!

The lucky winner of sweepstakes will receive 2 round trip tickets to Maui by Delta Airline AND 6 night stay in their villa at Honua Kai Cafe Resort & Spa.

Now, we did a bit of researches on this resort, Honua Kai Cafe, as we never had an opportunity to check it out until our reader's tip. According to the press release, the Honua Kai Cafe in Maui has just opened in January, 2009, in the Northern part of Maui. The published rate for this year runs anywhere from $400/night. The resort will be expanding more in the year of 2010. Amenities that were listed in the press release left us in day-dreaming as the resort is located right on the beach (1 1/2miles of beach path, according to the PR), incredible pool with cabanas, their spa service etc., not to mention that Maui's celebrity chef, James McDonald, is running the gourmet cafe on the premises. (you can read their press release HERE.)

So, if you are a Coca-Cola drinker (or any line of drinks that Coke sells...), why not play @ MyCokeRewards.com, enter yourself in the sweepstake to the FREE trip to Honua Kai Cafe in Maui!!! (and you have our blessings.)

For more information on this sweepstake, visit: http://www.honuakaicafe.com/win-a-vacation-at-the-honua-kai-from-coke.html
