That 1.5 kilogram of travelguide in your backpack will still come in handy. You can't ask people on the street every little detail. But the best traveltips often come from locals, not guides. And that's why we're very pleased with Kelly Van Der Kolk, an Australian diver willing to share her knowledge on Diveheads. First she checked our descriptions of Australian destinations and corrected our piece on Cairns. Then she provided input on Byron Bay en Julian Rocks. And she doesn't stop there...

It is our goal to forget about goals! We are building Diveheads to forever expand, and we thank the people who help us do just that. Diveheads currently comes in two fine languages: Dutch and English. Currently we offer the most content in Dutch. Translator Melissa Geijp is helping us to correct this injustice. She translated our descriptions of Malaysian and Indonesian scuba diving destinations.

Today the Diveheads database has entered Australia. Freelance translator and copywriter Patrick Bakker took the Dutch texts and turned them into English. Right now we cover Cairns, Port Douglas and the Great Barrier Reef on the eastcoast; Exmouth, Coral Bay and Ningaloo Reef on the westcoast; Christmasisland and the Cocos Islands off the mainland. Go check them out and leave your comments! Want to add a missing destination? Just let us know.

On the right side of Diveheads we're showing pictures from a Flickr pool. We're using an excisting group for now. In near future we would like to use our own brand new Flickr group for this purpose. Are you a Flickr user? Please join our group! The picture accompanying this blog is made by Flickr photographer dphershman.

Blogging divemasters, fotographing travellers, cartoonists suffering from nitrogen narcosis and all other creative divers: Diveheads is looking for contributers. Do you want to use this website as your podium? Send a mail to info@diveheads.com!

Here we are then! From today Diveheads is online: a website with information about dive holiday destinations. Just like all the others? No, not at all. Diveheads is not trying to sell you a holiday. And we don’t advertise for diving holiday companies. On Diveheads we offer a platform for divers to share their travel experiences. Here you will find unembellished information, from divers like you.
