Diveheads blogs

We are looking for you!

Diveheads.com started as a project/experiment to create a better diving community website. We want to grow and develop this website but because of limited time, we need a new technical maintainer. We could use your help!

Are you a webmaster with experience in Drupal?
Do you (preferably) enjoy diving?
Would you like to build this site into a real community?
And maybe earn a little on the way?

If you have question or remarks, leave a comment or email us! Drupal is open-source and we would like to give this project a much more open-source character!

Australia through the eyes of an Australian

Paul — Mon, 05 May 2008 14:42:57 +0000

That 1.5 kilogram of travelguide in your backpack will still come in handy. You can't ask people on the street every little detail. But the best traveltips often come from locals, not guides. And that's why we're very pleased with Kelly Van Der Kolk, an Australian diver willing to share her knowledge on Diveheads. First she checked our descriptions of Australian destinations and corrected our piece on Cairns. Then she provided input on Byron Bay en Julian Rocks. And she doesn't stop there...

Diveheads visits Indonesia and Malaysia

It is our goal to forget about goals! We are building Diveheads to forever expand, and we thank the people who help us do just that. Diveheads currently comes in two fine languages: Dutch and English. Currently we offer the most content in Dutch. Translator Melissa Geijp is helping us to correct this injustice. She translated our descriptions of Malaysian and Indonesian scuba diving destinations.

Diveheads expands into Australia

Today the Diveheads database has entered Australia. Freelance translator and copywriter Patrick Bakker took the Dutch texts and turned them into English. Right now we cover Cairns, Port Douglas and the Great Barrier Reef on the eastcoast; Exmouth, Coral Bay and Ningaloo Reef on the westcoast; Christmasisland and the Cocos Islands off the mainland. Go check them out and leave your comments! Want to add a missing destination? Just let us know.

Diveheads: information from divers like you

Paul — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 10:02:30 +0000

Here we are then! From today Diveheads is online: a website with information about dive holiday destinations. Just like all the others? No, not at all. Diveheads is not trying to sell you a holiday. And we don’t advertise for diving holiday companies. On Diveheads we offer a platform for divers to share their travel experiences. Here you will find unembellished information, from divers like you.
