How we grade

One number, built from dives people actually logged.

The Divegrade score is never paid for and never for sale. Dive centers can reply to reviews. They can't change a score.

01Measured per diveMarine life is scored per logged dive, so a busy site can't win on volume alone.
02Seasonal by defaultEvery site has a score for each month. The headline is its best months.
03Honest about thin dataSites with few dives and reviews lean toward the regional average until enough divers log them.
04Difficulty is never a penaltyCurrent and depth are shown on their own. A demanding site can still score a 10.
