The Challenge
Scuba diving alone is risky, and even illegal in some places.
Finding a buddy can be a difficult challenge, especially for those without a regular diving partner.
This can lead to cancelling diving plans or even quitting the hobby.
Overview
Scuba diving is a recreational activity where divers explore underwater with a buddy for safety and enjoyment.
A buddy is another trained and equipped diver who can assist in case of emergency.

However, there is an unanswered need for divers to connect with others based on their location.
