DiveSpots.com Launches Interactive Charts and Satellite Maps for all SCUBA Diving Destinations

Now SCUBA divers can pinpoint dive spots on either a graphic chart or on a satellite map. Charts and maps can be generated for individual dive spots, for an entire destination, and for dive trips that are planned online using DiveSpots.com's exclusive DiveTrip(c) feature. The free service to all registered members includes interactive tools such as zooming, panning, searching, and GPS downloads.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) November 29, 2005 -- DiveSpots.com has launched an interactive service -- free to all registered members -- which allows SCUBA divers to view online charts and satellite maps for any dive spot listed on DiveSpots.com. Divers can visually pinpoint dive locations, zoom in and out, easily pan to see what is nearby, and toggle between graphic charts and detailed overhead satellite images. Charts and maps can be generated for individual dive spots, for an entire destination, and for dive trips that are planned online using DiveSpots.com's exclusive DiveTrip(c) feature. Each dive site is clearly marked with a red pin marker, which when clicked, shows GPS coordinates and waypoint information.

"Our advanced online mapping technology gives our divers interactive tools to help them plan and locate their next dive," said Raf Fiol, Managing Editor for DiveSpots.com. "In some cases, such as the U.S.S. Massachusetts or Carysfort Lighthouse (Key Largo), the satellite images are so clear that you can zoom in and see the wreck or point of interest."
