Submarius: Dive & Spearfishing
Roger VanDeburgh
Submarius reads the ocean and reports everything you need to know to make a decision. Dive weather, bite forecast, and water clarity forecast for spearfishing, diving, fishing, and boating — built for people who are tired of stitching together four apps to decide if today is worth the drive. Includes: - Verdict page (main dashboard) - Map (with reefs and wrecks, live/forecasted radar, water clarity overlay, wind, and more) - Fish (what species can I expect to find at my set location, what are the laws and regulations, images of the fish) Every factor — wind, swell, tide, moon, pressure, water temp, water clarity — goes into a single 0–10 verdict you can read in two seconds. Tap any factor to see the numbers and the reasoning. No black-box "AI" — every input is transparent. THE FIRST HONEST WATER CLARITY FORECAST No other major app has this. Submarius blends satellite turbidity (NOAA CoastWatch Kd490), USGS river-plume detection, wave-mixing physics, and community post-dive reports into an honest Secchi-depth estimate with explicit uncertainty. Grounded in Lee et al. 2015 (R²=0.96). When we don't know, we say so. EIGHT ACTIVITY MODES Spearfishing, freediving, scuba, rod-and-reel fishing, boating, sailing, surfing, kayak/SUP. Each mode reweights the verdict around what actually matters for that activity — clarity and tide for spearos, swell period and wind for surfers, bite windows for anglers, small-craft advisories for boaters. BITE SCORE WITH TRANSPARENT FACTORS Dive forecast with water clarity, bite score, swell, tide, and moon — every factor explained. Tide stage, moon phase, solunar windows, barometric trend, wind, and water temperature — combined into a 0–10 score, factor by factor. No secret formula. If we score a day a 3, you'll know exactly why. MAP THAT'S ACTUALLY USEFUL Self-hosted bathymetry + sea-surface temperature + animated weather radar + wind particle flow + reef and wreck structure overlays. Finds drop-offs, temp breaks, and shelter without dragging you to another app. LIVE GPS TRACKS Record your dive or fishing trip as a live blue track on the map. Useful for retracing drift, marking productive zones, or just remembering the line you swam. SAFETY, ALWAYS FREE Shark-tag alerts (OCEARCH), community shark sightings, SOS, and buddy GPS sharing are permanently free for every user, every tier. No paywall, no trial — by design. SPOT PRIVACY, BY DEFAULT Your spots stay your spots. GPS-fuzzed to ~1 km on anything public; precise location never leaves your device unless you explicitly share it. Post-dive clarity reports ship with H3-fuzzed coordinates only — we can't give away where you dive because we never see it. ANONYMOUS-FIRST Current conditions, 2-day forecast, basic bite score, and every safety feature work without an account. Sign up when you want to save spots or post catches. SUBMARIUS PRO Pro unlocks the 8-day forecast, premium map overlays, offline maps, unlimited saved spots, advanced bite score layers, full water-clarity horizons, and catch history export. $12.99/month or $99/year with a 7-day free trial.
