sport=scuba_diving
is used to mark a place related to scuba diving.
How to map
sport=scuba_diving
should always be combined with a physical feature:
amenity=dive_centre
+sport=scuba_diving
- A dive centreshop=scuba_diving
+sport=scuba_diving
- A shop that sells scuba related equipmentclub=scuba_diving
+sport=scuba_diving
- A scuba diving club
Dive spots
Dive spots are tagged using a physical feature together with sport=scuba_diving
+ scuba_diving:divespot=yes
.
Features with sport=scuba_diving
should also contain a physical tag which is the reason dive spots in small water bodies are often tagged on the body itself (e.g. natural=water
). In bigger water bodies, a POI such as natural=reef
, natural=cave_entrance
, historic=wreck
, ... is used if such a feature exists, otherwise leisure=pitch
is sometimes added [1]. Indoor dive spots can be tagged on the corresponding leisure=swimming_pool
or leisure=sports_centre
.

Rendering on OpenSeaMap

OpenSeaMap is rendering scuba-diving-spots, but is currently not working properly as of 19th of March 2017.
Select "Sport layer"
sport=scuba_diving
is rendered in z=14..18
For a transition time also "sport=diving" is rendered. Please search this deprecated tag and replace it by sport=scuba_diving
.
220 old "diving" need to be replaced (29.1.2014)
18 old "diving" need to be checked and replaced (11.10.2014)
In the meantime, a new chart is under development, that you can use to verify scuba-diving-spots, http://aaxee.github.io/online_chart_ol3/. You can see an example dive site from Mimpang, Bali: http://aaxee.github.io/online_chart_ol3/#/?lat=-8.5262&lon=115.5762&zoom=18&layers=C10010010000&lang=en
History
Based on approved Proposed_features/scuba_diving2, DE:Switzerland/DiveSpots and earlier proposals.
