Tag:sport=scuba_diving

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 centre
• shop=scuba_diving + sport=scuba_diving - A shop that sells scuba related equipment
• club=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.

This article or section contains questionable, contentious or controversial information. See the talk page for more information.

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 . Indoor dive spots can be tagged on the corresponding leisure=swimming_pool or leisure=sports_centre.

Required tags

Tag	Description	Count
Physical feature	Such as natural=beach, natural=cave_entrance, historic=wreck...
sport=scuba_diving	This object is mainly used for scuba_diving
sport:scuba_diving=yes	This object is besides other sports also used for scuba diving
scuba_diving:divespot:[[Key:|]]=yes	This is a divespot
name=*	Name of the divespot (This is what you write into your logbook not the lake/sea it is in).

Other recommended or potentially useful tags

Tag	Description	Count
ref=*	Reference code if this dive spot is part of an official numbering system
scuba_diving:depth=*	Typical depth divers normally go (i.e. depth of an attraction, wreck, ...)
scuba_diving:maxdepth=*	Maximum depth for this place
scuba_diving:entry=boat	Entry only possible by boat
scuba_diving:entry=shore	Entry directly via shore
scuba_diving:entry=pier	Entry via pier/jetty
scuba_diving:entry=ladder	Entry via a ladder
scuba_diving:hazard=surfers	Hazard due to surfers on the surface
scuba_diving:hazard=fairway	Hazard due to a fairway at the surface
scuba_diving:hazard=harpooning	Hazard due to spearfishing activities
scuba_diving:hazard=net	Hazard due to lose fishing nets
scuba_diving:hazard=rockfall	Hazard due to falling rocks (often in old quarries)
scuba_diving:drift=yes	A dive spot suitable for drift diving

How to get there

• boat:tours=* scuba_diving / boat:rental=*

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

Example in the Chart

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.
