ABOUT

First published in 2007, the Diving Almanac and Book of Records celebrates the achievements of a unique group of people that share a passion for underwater adventure and discovery. It is the ultimate authority on diving exploits, history and personalities.

The Diving Almanac is a stage and tribune for all divers, regardless of nationality or association, to share their sporting, scientific and technological endeavours, and to marvel at the incomparable feats of our sea-dwelling animal brethren that we so love to emulate.

We need your help

In order to ensure your browsing experience is as enjoyable as possible, banners are kept to an absolute minimum, which in turn means that advertising revenues alone cannot sustain this 100% FREE publication.

Researching and updating the Diving Almanac requires a lot of time and dedication. If you believe the diving community needs a central body of information to record, validate and make available our shared history and accomplishments, please show your support by making a small contribution. Thank you!
