divers4oceans is a citizen science project that collects ocean temperature measurements from scuba divers all around the world, with the goal of making these data available to scientists. We are currently building our website and mobile app, but on this temporary page you can read about our project history, goals, and about the importance of diver-scientist collaboration.
