Welcome to Australia, Marla!

Since our launch in the UK and Ireland in 2024, we have received multiple emails from divers across the globe asking to enable Marla's dive visibility forecasts in their locations.

We heard you and worked hard to expand the geographic coverage of our algorithms. We are happy to announce that Marla dive visibility forecasts are now available for beta testing in Australia!

Dive visibility forecasts

We are releasing the first version of our dive visibility forecast for Australia. This algorithm is trained on a large dataset from several years of satellite and weather observations and forecasts undersea visibility for the current and next day. You can learn more about our algorithm here.
