Our Story

Descent was born out of a simple, yet frustrating experience. After moving to a new country, I quickly realized I had no idea where to dive, no knowledge of the best reefs or dive spots, and, worst of all, no one to dive with. Naturally, I thought, there must be an app for this! But after searching, I found that most options were either outdated, overpriced, or simply nonexistent.

Turning to Facebook groups, Reddit threads, and scattered forums felt like an endless cycle of trial and error. Which community do I join? How long will it take to find a reliable dive buddy? The process was exhausting, and I knew there had to be a better way.

That's when the idea for Descent took shape—a modern, streamlined platform designed to solve the common frustrations divers face. Beyond just buddy-finding, I saw the need for better dive planning, reliable color correction, and trusted gear recommendations. Instead of spending hours researching, divers should be able to focus on what truly matters—diving.

Our mission is simple: to eliminate the unnecessary complications that come with diving and create a seamless, all-in-one tool for the global dive community. And the best part? Descent is free for divers. From planning and logging dives to finding buddies and enhancing your underwater photos, we’ve built this app to be your go-to dive companion—without the paywalls.

We hope you love it as much as we do. See you underwater!
