About VisPro Dive

Modern dive forecasting, built to help Australian divers spend more time in clear water.

Why we built VisPro Dive

Surfers have had forecasts for years that tell them exactly when the waves are firing. Divers had nothing like it.

VisPro Dive started with our founder, Angie Selkirk, piecing together swell charts and weather apps to guess what the visibility would be, and arriving at water that was rarely what she expected. Getting it right meant digging deep into how conditions really change from one dive site to the next.

VisPro Dive does that digging for you and turns it into something any diver can read in seconds: a clear answer to whether it's worth getting in the water.

Meet the founder

Angie Selkirk, founder of VisPro Dive, at the surface off the Gold Coast

Angie has been in and around the water her whole life. She did her first intro dive at 12 in Cairns, grew up diving the Surf Coast and Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, and snorkelled the Great Barrier Reef and Indonesia on family holidays.

At 19, she earned her PADI Advanced Open Water while volunteering on a marine conservation project in Dawasamu, Fiji, living off-grid in a village and logging more than 70 dives. Today she scuba dives and freedives on the Gold Coast, where VisPro Dive launched in February 2026.

Angie's favourite sites:

  • Gold Coast Seaway: easy to get to, relaxed, and full of marine life that changes with the seasons.
  • Kirra Reef: the closest thing the Gold Coast has to a tropical coral reef, with its own ecosystem.
  • Rocky Point, Torquay, and Pope's Eye, Port Phillip Bay: the Victorian sites she grew up on.

"I wanted diving to have what surfers already had: a forecast that gets you in the water more often, and with more confidence."

— Angie Selkirk, Founder

What you get

VisPro Dive is built for scuba divers, freedivers, spearfishers and snorkellers:

  • A Divability Score out of 100 for every dive site
  • A visibility range with a clear-water maximum
  • 7-day forecasts and easy-to-read charts
  • Heat maps and map layers for divability, visibility, wind, swell, chlorophyll and rainfall
  • Conditions analysis for every site
  • Accuracy badges earned from real diver reports

Everything is designed to be read in seconds, not studied.

Built with divers

Accuracy is everything to us, and it comes from you. Every report, good or bad, tells us where the forecast is spot on and where it needs work.

Three sites have already earned our Gold "Proven Accuracy" badge, and that's just the start. Imagine every dive site in Australia like that.

How accuracy badges work

Bronze, Diver Reported: divers have started reporting here.

Silver, Accuracy Rising: 20+ reports, and accuracy is climbing.

Gold, Proven Accuracy: 20+ reports, and the forecast has been proven against them.

More than 1,000 divers have used VisPro Dive since launch.

What's next

The VisPro Dive app is on its way to the App Store, with Google Play to follow. We add and update dive sites constantly, and our map layers launched this month. Our long-term goal is to make VisPro Dive the forecast divers everywhere check first.

VisPro Dive is a planning tool. Always check conditions on site and dive within your training.
