I am on DiveBuddy.com to find other divers and people interested in this sport. If i was looking for a romantic interest though, I don`t see myself trusting the Internet to find that special someone. And isn`t it more important to find someone with like interests anyway. If you really love diving and find someone who doesn`t like the water and would never dive, would you give up the sport for them? Ask those people who have done it already (or given up something else, ie, other sports or past times) and are now diving again. I know there are a few on this site. I think this site is doing great as it is, a place to hook up with like minded people interested in splashing into the water and doing some diving.

Maybe not, but are either of those "diver specific" and allow you to seek out divers in your local area as easy as DB does?
MySpace and FaceBook are just too large of a sea to wade through to find divers in my local area.

i would say yes it stands a chance. All the others are too broad and too commercialized. hopefully divebuddy will stay free of that crap. New here, hope this works out. I also advocate for NCDivers.com. If I cant post that...sorry.

No it doesn`t That`s like saying, "Does a toaster stand a chance against a microwave?" I doubt this site was meant to compete with those sites and though numbers are fewer it`s a whole lot easier to find people with similar interests. Do you have any idea how long it takes to find divers on myspace let alone anyone interested in going to some of the same places?

Not only does DiveBuddy.com stand a chance against those juggernauts, well-built specialty networking sites will probably replace them. No annoying advertising, no invasive cookies, no spam, no lurkers or predators. And a moderator who pulls the weeds before they get out of control. Frankly, I`d like to license the code to set up a site for historical re-enactors.

I`ve actually never visited myspace or facebook... I found divebuddy searching for just that "dive buddies" both new and veterans in the sport; looking for both recreation and experience... Divebuddy serves just that purpose.. Dive well Maurice
