Intro

This proposal is a revival with some adaptations of a previously proposed but not finalised Proposed_features/scuba_diving. This proposition should deprecated the old sport=diving and the old shop=dive by sport=scuba_diving and shop=scuba_diving ( that has more occurrances in the database anyway).

Proposal

This proposal is split in several kinds of things :

• Indoor / outdoor Diving Spots
• Diving Center
• Diving shop attributes

Rationale

Finding a dive spot is not always easy if you don't know them. An old quarry, a beach specially designed for divers. This proposition also aims to distinguish clearly cliff diving and scuba diving. it's the reason why the tag sport=diving doesn't fit. In addition, sport=diving only has 59 objects in the DB and scuba_diving has more than 2200.

Since sport=scuba_diving is a non-physical tag, it should be combined with other (physical) tags, describing specific attributes of a dive spot. Therefore a namespace scuba_diving:*=* and a key scuba_diving=* respectively are proposed.

To mark a dive-center amenity=dive_center and to mark a dive-shop shop=scuba_diving are proposed.

Applies to

Nodes and areas and possibly also ways .

• Nodes might be used for dive spots, shops or dive centers
• Areas might be used to mark spot that are entirely dedicated to scuba_diving or shops ,...

Dive Spot

To distinguish between a dive spot and scuba_diving related things you can add the tag scuba_diving:divespot=* (yes or a description of the type of spot)

Here is a set of additional tags you can use to describe a dive spot

• depth=* The typical depth of the spot (where you can find attractions, ...)
• maxdepth=* Maximale depth
• fee=*

Dive Center / Shop / Service

Here is a set of additional tags you can use to describe a dive center or shop.

• scuba_diving:filling=yes

+ scuba_diving:air_filling=yes
+ scuba_diving:nitrox_filling=yes
+ scuba_diving:trimix_filling=yes
+ scuba_diving:oxygen_filling=yes

• scuba_diving:repair=yes if the center can fix equipment.
• scuba_diving:courses=yes
• league=* to describe the league of the center PADI,...
• scuba_diving:rental=yes

Maybe other things like operator=* , ...

Deprecated

This proposal depracted tags:

• sport=diving ("diving" means: jumping from a rock or a cliff)
• shop=dive
  see shop=scuba_diving

that are not used much. (45 objects and 59 objects).
