Skaphandrus is a project of sharing and documentation of the underwater world, benefiting from the knowledge of citizens who dive all over the world.
Mission
Our mission is to create the biggest platform for sharing and documenting underwater experiences, like photos, dives, species, spots, shipwrecks, etc., thus adding to the information available to biologists, archaeologists, tourists, divers, dive businesses, etc.
Vision
The desire to explore the sea bottom makes over 100.000 new certified divers per year. We believe that citizens of the entire world sharing their experiences as divers will add value to the knowledge we have of the underwater world, the biggest and least explored area of our planet.
Name
Why Skaphandrus? We have drawn inspiration from a symbol connected with diving and the human aspect. The name Skaphandrus comes from the Portuguese word “escafandro”, meaning “hermetically closed equipment, with injection of air through a pump, that divers use to work underwater”.
History
The Skaphandrus project began in 2010, with the collaboration of citizens of different areas of knowledge as well as public entities. Collectively, we cover areas of knowledge such as biology, bioinformatics, archaeology, photography, software development and web design, thus adding to the development of this multidisciplinary project.
