If you are a member of DiveBuddy.com, but you have not logged into your profile in a while (more than 6 months), please take a few seconds and tell us why. Your response will help us improve the site, and those improvements should encourage you to become more active on DiveBuddy.

This survey is not for the die-hard members that participate actively within our scuba community. I wish to hear from the "not so active" members that do not grace us with their presence as often. Without hearing the bad stuff, we can never really improve.

[Choose #3] Website objective is great! But seems to be diluted with other things. Not easy/simple to find a buddy near me. Looking at a Redbox Kiosk - it’s simple "Rent movie" or "Return movie". Maybe a large button "Find buddy near you".
