Dive Hub was developed to help divers find and share dive spots close to you. When I (Tom Rutledge) first started diving I found it difficult to find people to dive with and sites to dive. After joining a local club I was able to connect with several new divers and have made some great friends in the process. One thing that was still lacking was information on dive sites. I created this site in the hopes that many divers will share their favorite dive sites.

Following a trustworthy fisherman’s lead, on the 21st & 22nd of January 2018, the Red Sea Exlporers’ team ventured into the deep waters near Gubal Island in search of an unknown wreck. Due to heavy currents, poor visibility, the estimated depth of the wreck and not to mention the ship traffic in the channel above, we anticipated it to be a tricky dive and indeed it was.
