What it does

A logbook that does the heavy lifting.

Log

Log a dive in seconds

Depth profile, gas, conditions and sightings — captured in a five-step wizard or imported straight from a Garmin FIT file. Original computer data is never altered.

AI

Name what you saw

The AI helps you identify and tag the species in your photos — with visible confidence, and you always get the final say. It runs on your phone, so your videos stay on your phone.

Replay

Relive every dive

A narrated, scrubbable replay: the depth profile plays through while your photos, clips and sightings appear at the right moments. Made to be shared.

Conditions

Know before you go

Site pages fed by real dives: visibility, temperature and swell from divers who were just there — not a forecast model, and always with age and source.

Buddies

Find your buddy

Post your availability and it appears on the map for divers within range, auto-expiring after 48 hours. Only your proposed sites and time window are shared.

Trust

Your data, yours

Per-dive visibility from private to public, offline-first logging and full export including your original imported files. Portability is a core value.

It helps you identify and tag what you saw.

Surface from a dive and your buddy has already had a look at the photos: "Likely two-banded seabream — 87%". You confirm, correct or dismiss — every suggestion stays a suggestion until you say so.

The pilot

We're starting where we dive: Malta & Gozo.

House Reef is being built and tested in the water it's made for. Through the pilot, a group of Malta-based divers and dive centres logs real dives, feeds the site pages and shapes the app with us — before we open up further.

We're focused on recreational diving for now — Open Water to advanced, single tank, the dives most of us actually do. Technical diving support may come later.

For dive centres

The sites you dive every day, verified.

Malta's diving happens at shared shore and boat sites — and your centre knows them better than anyone. House Reef gives you a verified profile with clearly badged updates on the sites you guide daily, right where divers are already looking.

FAQ

Good questions.

When can I use House Reef?

We're piloting in Malta & Gozo on iOS and Android. Join the waitlist and you'll get one of the first invites.

Will it cost anything?

The pilot is free, and the core logbook stays free. If we ever charge for extras, your dives remain yours to export at any time.

Which dive computers work?

Garmin FIT import at launch — share a dive straight from Garmin Dive and the log wizard opens pre-filled. Manual entry always works, and more brands are on the roadmap.

What happens to my photos and videos?

They're analysed on your phone. Videos never leave your device unless you share them, and every AI result stays a labelled suggestion until you confirm it.

Do you support technical diving?

Not yet. We're building for recreational diving first — Open Water to advanced. Tech diving (multi-gas, deco, CCR) may come later, and your FIT imports already keep the original data intact for when it does.

Does the buddy finder share my position?

Never your live position — only the sites you propose and your time window, and the post expires by itself after 48 hours.
