A resource for divers that I built myself

Dive Champ is my own project: reviews, articles, exercises and dive sites for divers. I designed, built and grew it myself.

Why I made it

Divers keep looking for the same few things: honest reviews of gear, ideas for the next dive, and ways to improve. I wanted one free place that covers all three.

What I built

Everything: brand, design, code and SEO. Dive Champ has reviews, articles, exercises, destinations and dive sites. It also has an AI photo tool in beta and a community for divers.

Since launch

The project is mine, so I try new things here before I suggest them to clients. Each change goes out through the same loop I use for client work.
