Your underwater world deserves something better than Instagram.

What hellomydiver is

hellomydiver is a purpose-built profile for dive shops — better than Instagram, built for divers. Every photo your team uploads is AI-tagged with species identification. Every dive site is searchable. Divers planning a trip can finally answer the question that no website or Instagram page answers: what will I actually see underwater if I dive with you?

The bigger mission

We're building the world's most comprehensive centralised database of aquatic species — geotagged, AI-verified, contributed by the dive shops and divemasters who know these reefs better than anyone. Every shop that joins hellomydiver is contributing to something the dive community has never had before. A permanent, searchable, honest record of what lives underwater — and where.

Why I built this

My name is Victor. I got my Open Water in California and took my first dives in Bali and Lombok. During COVID, I lived above a dive shop for a few weeks in Phuket, did my Advanced Open Water, and got to know the ins and outs of operating a dive shop firsthand. My wife Nari went from not knowing how to swim to getting her Open Water in less than a year after her first swimming lesson. Every trip, we hit the same wall: no good way to find out what we'd actually see underwater before choosing a shop. I built hellomydiver because I kept running into the same problem every diver has — and I finally had the tools to fix it.
