Discovering the ocean’s finest
since 2013
Whether it's diving with orcas in the Arctic or marvelling at macro in the Golden Triangle, we promote the world’s premier dive locations, resorts, liveaboards and ocean experiences. Each is carefully curated by us at The Dive Scout, with a strict focus on biological importance, conservation and reputation. Founded in 2013, we have amassed thousands of dives the world over, from the tropics to the poles, all while cementing a reputation in high-end media.
