Terms of service

These terms cover your use of DiveVis (divevis.com and the installable app). By using it you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use DiveVis.

Last updated November 8, 2026.

1. What DiveVis is

DiveVis gives free forecasts of underwater visibility and of conditions for getting in the water from shore, by kayak or by boat, at spots in Hawaii. The forecasts are calculated from public weather, ocean and satellite data (how it works). They are estimates, not measurements or observations.

2. Diving is at your own risk

• Ocean conditions change fast and can differ from any forecast. A "Go" is not a promise that it is safe.
• Always check conditions yourself on site, read official warnings (National Weather Service, Hawaii Department of Health, lifeguards), and know your own limits and training.
• DiveVis is not for navigation. Spot positions, wreck positions and depths are approximate.
• You are responsible for following local rules, including marine protected areas, fishing and spearfishing regulations, and access to private land.

3. Your account

• You can use most of DiveVis without an account. An account (email code or Sign in with Google) adds saved spots, alerts, longer forecasts and dive plans.
• Keep access to your email and devices safe; anything done while signed in counts as yours. You can sign out other devices and delete your account in the app at any time.
• We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts the service at risk.

4. Fair use

Please don't:

• attack, overload or try to break into the site, or get around its limits and bot checks;
• scrape or download forecasts in bulk by automated means, or resell them, without asking us first (search engines and AI assistants reading the public pages are welcome);
• use the contact form or notifications to send spam or abuse;
• pretend to be someone else, or use DiveVis for anything unlawful.

5. Shared dive plans

A dive plan you share can be opened by anyone who has its link. Don't put anything in a plan that you wouldn't want the people you send it to (and anyone they forward it to) to see.

6. Content and data

The DiveVis name, logo, design, text and forecast model belong to DiveVis. The underlying data comes from public sources and keeps their terms: Open-Meteo, NOAA, USGS, Hawaii DOH, and map data © OpenStreetMap contributors. How we handle your information is in the privacy policy.

7. No warranty

DiveVis is provided free, "as is" and "as available". We don't guarantee that forecasts are accurate, complete or up to date, or that the service will always be available, and we may change or stop any part of it. To the fullest extent the law allows, DiveVis and the people who run it are not liable for any loss, injury or damage arising from using it or relying on its forecasts.

8. Changes

We may update these terms; the new version is posted here with a new date. Using DiveVis after a change means you accept the updated terms.
