Diving apps you can use underwater

There are a ton of diving apps on the market with which you can book and log your dives, find resorts, liveaboards and dive centers, plan scuba holidays or research areas and specific sites. Here, however, we are going to share with you a bunch of great diving apps, which you can use underwater. Yes, you are going to have to take your phone along, but no worries, we have a perfect solution for that.

 

Diving apps for explorers

LED Banner

For those of us who don’t have full-face masks communication underwater can be challenging due to the inability to speak. When complex messages cannot be conveyed through diving gestures, using a phone to type and display them becomes invaluable. With LED Banner, text can be typed up, enlarged, and displayed in a scrolling marquee format. This feature allows divers to communicate effectively, enhancing safety during dives by ensuring vital information is shared between buddies.

Linné Lens

Linné Lens serves as a potent tool for underwater science popularisation, enabling swift and accurate identification of fish and underwater creatures even without an internet connection. This innovative app allows users to identify, record, and automatically classify marine life, providing a comprehensive illustrated guide to underwater critters. Whether on land or underwater, Linné Lens empowers users to explore and understand the diverse marine ecosystem, making it an invaluable resource for enthusiasts, researchers, and educators alike. With its offline capabilities and comprehensive features, Linné Lens revolutionises the way we engage with and learn about underwater life.

 

Diving apps for creators

Filmic Pro

Introducing Filmic Pro, the ultimate video camera app for smartphones, setting the gold standard in quality, shooting experience, and manual controls. Designed to empower everyone to capture professional-quality footage, Filmic Pro features an innovative Quick Action Model (QAM) system that unveils all essential controls with a single touch. With precise control over focus, exposure, frame rate, bitrate, audio, and more, Filmic Pro allows you to unleash your creativity and bring your vision to life. Customise your experience with the dedicated Custom Function Button, ensuring seamless access to your favourite functions for an ergonomic and intuitive user experience.

ProMovie

This video recording app is both user-friendly and powerful. Its simple interface, large icons, and other features make it exceptionally easy to operate underwater. In automatic mode, a single camera parameter can be adjusted for quick filming control. Alternatively, in full manual mode, users can precisely control parameters to produce professional-quality content.

Double Take

Double Take harnesses the power of the multi-camera setup on your mobile phone, allowing you to simultaneously shoot with any two cameras. You have the flexibility to combine the rear camera with the selfie camera, enabling you to capture yourself while filming. Additionally, you can utilize rear cameras like the ultra-wide lens paired with the telephoto lens, capturing both panoramic views and close-up shots without cropping the video. This provides creators with a plethora of framing options to enhance their content.

Lightroom

Lightroom, renowned for its photo editing capabilities, also boasts a professional camera function, which might be overlooked by some users. In addition to capturing photos in RAW format for enhanced profile data, you can access the professional mode to fine-tune settings like shutter speed, ISO, and white balance. Moreover, features such as highlight clipping and level meters are available to aid in shooting, providing users with comprehensive tools to achieve their desired photographic results.
