Underwater right now — November
The water is already good somewhere.
Three windows open today, read from our catalogue the moment you open this page. Water temperature, flying time from Paris, minimum level required: we show what has been recorded, and nothing is rounded to look good. The diveability verdict travels with the place — « not researched yet » means what it says.

⚠️ Of the 3 stopovers featured here, 3 have their twelve months researched by us. The others stay on the page and carry what we do not know: we rank them after the ones we have studied, we do not hide them from you.
The tools
Three tools, and nothing to sell.
We sell no trips and take no commission. These three tools are the whole product — what they know, they say; what they don't know, they say too.
The planner
Flights, lodging, dive centre, activities: an estimated basket, an alert when your budget tightens, and the links to book yourself, at the best price. The estimates are indicative and say so.
The wishes map
Not sure where to go? Just say what you dream of meeting. The map lights up the destinations whose window is open in the chosen month — and leaves the others visible, because hiding them would suggest there is nothing elsewhere.
The logbook
Your dives, your photos, the species you met. Photos are compressed on upload and storage has a ceiling — but if your plan lapses you lose nothing: what is already there stays readable, and you export all of it whenever you want.
Why Scubalia
🎯 An advisor, not a seller
Scubalia sells no trips: neutral recommendations, transparent price estimates, and you book everything yourself at the best rate, in full freedom.
🐋 Real species seasonality
Whale sharks, mantas, turtles… our engine matches your wishes with real observation windows, month by month, for every destination — the right place at the right time.
🇫🇷 Your data hosted in France
100% French hosting (Paris), strict GDPR, encryption, immutable audit trail: enterprise-grade security for every diver.
🤿 Built by divers, for divers
FFESSM/CMAS and PADI/SSI levels treated equally, dive logbook, club mode: every detail comes from the field — and the community grows the catalogue.
The ocean is waiting
Turtles, blazing reefs, turquoise lagoons — find the ideal window to meet them, then compose the trip that fits you.
39 destinations, every ocean
From Corsica to the Galápagos: every destination is documented — species seasonality, hand-picked hotels, dive centers and activities. And the catalogue keeps growing, driven by spots suggested by the community.
For clubs
Sub Aqua Club: the whole team aboard.
Scubalia's club mode — outing schedule, equipment inventory, certification tracking, printable trip dossier.
€189 incl. VAT / yearper year for the whole club, up to 200 members over the year.
Beyond 200 members over the year, write to us at contact@scubalia.com: we look at your needs and send you a quote within 3 working days. If your club collects its fees online, the commission is charged by the payment provider — never by us: in France, 1.5% + €0.25 per successful payment with a European card. The rate depends on country and card type, the fixed part weighs on small amounts, and currency conversion adds about 2%.
The outing schedule
Slots, instructors, places left — everyone sees the event at a glance.
The equipment inventory
BCDs, regulators, tanks: servicing scheduled and faulty gear taken out of circulation.
Certifications
FFESSM/CMAS and PADI/SSI levels treated as equals, expiry dates raised in advance.
The trip dossier
A printable trip proposal, with its mandatory disclosures, to hand to students.

Sub Aqua Club
- 🎁 The Standard plan offered to every member, all season long (until 15 September) — their personal dive log, nothing to pay: it's what your members remember about their club. ⚠️ The Standard is currently built for scuba diving; the catalogue is being extended to the other underwater sports
- Every underwater activity your club runs, not just scuba: freediving, finswimming, underwater hockey, pool sport diving, cave diving, adaptive diving, first aid, marine biology, photography… Each member is attached to the sections they practise, with the grades and medical clearances that go with them — one registry instead of one spreadsheet per committee
- Online membership portal: your members sign up themselves by QR code or with the club's identifier, pay their fee by card and upload their documents (medical certificate, certification card) — you approve, and the registry fills in with no re-keying
- Members AND instructors registry: dated statuses, search, filters, stats, import/export
- Certification progress (multi-agency, TIV, freediving…) — the level updates itself upon delivery
- Club treasury: income, expenses, bank reconciliation — tracking for the treasurer, Scubalia collects nothing
- Colour-themed schedule, visible to members — everyone answers "I'll be there / maybe / not coming"
- Equipment inventory by category: condition, service due dates (TIV), shopping list
- Delegation by capacity: entrust the registry, treasury, schedule or inventory to a member — they only see their chapter
- Daily club backup, recoverable for 30 days
- Member files (medical certificate, certification card…) and a club calendar you can sync with Google Calendar or your phone's calendar
Everything in Organizer is included (classes, invitations, rooms, documents and vault). Club members only need a Scubalia account. The dive log stays personal: it follows the diver, not the club subscription. 🎁 Each of your members gets the Standard plan (dive log) offered by the club for the whole season — as soon as they link their record to their account. The price covers up to 200 members per year per club; beyond that, write to contact@scubalia.com so we can look at your needs and send you a quote within 3 working days. ⚠️ Membership fees your club collects online carry a commission charged by the PAYMENT PROVIDER, under the contract your club signs with it. Standard rate in France and the euro area: 1.5% + €0.25 per successful payment with a European card. ⚠️ Three things change it: your club's country and the card type (a non-European card costs more); the AMOUNT, because the fixed part weighs on small payments — €0.25 on a €10 payment is already 4%; and CURRENCY CONVERSION, about 2% more whenever the payment currency is not the account's. The exact rate is shown in your payment dashboard, and your treasury records the REAL fee of every payment, read from the provider — never a copied rate. Scubalia charges nothing on these fees and never touches this money: it goes straight from the member to the club's account.
After subscribing to a paid plan, you have 14 days to withdraw — free of charge and without justification, online from “My subscription”.

They are indicative, non-contractual estimates based on commonly observed prices. Real prices are those of the platforms at booking time — we give you the order of magnitude to decide with confidence.
Where does the seasonality data come from?
From a reference base built destination by destination, continuously refined by real observations from the community's divers: the more of us there are, the sharper the observation windows.
Is my data safe?
Yes: hosted in France, strict GDPR, no banking data stored with us, and your dive logbooks belong to you — exportable at any time.
