ScubaVagabonds

Everybody is addicted to love and praise and we are no exception of that. Reading through today´s online press we have been very happy finding an article mentioning ScubaVagabonds.com – a social network connecting divers and dive shops worldwide. The article is more or less a showcase of some recently launched social networks powered by BuddyPress. We have been even more delighted about the fact that the guys over at WPMU.org selected ScubaVagabonds.com being among “the 11 best recent designs” of BuddyPress based social networks.

Check out the the full article at WPMU.org.

Hello Everybody!

ScubaVagabonds has been online for only a few days and by now we have started an active campaign to aquire new users and dive shops.

For this release we have concentrated mainly on the features and let’s be honest, there’s a lot on offer for divers and dive schools! There are still some more features in development, like accomodation bookings and photo upload for users, but we have also started development on a new look. We will take our time with this theme to make it as intuitive and functional as possible. At the moment we’re still in the planning stages. Here’s a first screenshot of how it could possible look like:

Please note that this is only a first try and things are likely to change. We will keep you updated on our progress!

After months of development we are happy and proud to finally release our social network ScubaVagabonds.com. Sceptics may ask: “There are already so many different social networks. Do we really need another one?”. The answer is definitely “Yes, of course!” as ScubaVagabonds.com is a niche social network focusing on scuba diving and all aspects connected with it. Planning and developing this site, we always had the wishes and needs of divers and dive shops in mind.

We are placing great value on your feedback for a further enhancement of ScubaVagabonds. So if you are having some great features or improvements in mind that are still missing, please let us know.

ScubaVagabonds.com is free to join. Register now and get your free account!

For dive shops only: A booking fee may only apply in case of confirmed bookings. No commission will be charged for cancelled bookings and no show-ups.
