WikiScuba - Too Liitle Too Late?
29 mar 2007 | Source: DiveSter
Wikis are a great way to consolidate and document information. Wikis dedicated to niche topics are an important resource if they're current, thorough, and have a good following. WikiScuba is the scuba diving wiki that was almost the greatest idea ever. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be current, thorough, or have much of a following.

Let's read about the divers' best friend: the buoyancy compensator (BC). WikiScuba describes the BC in two paragraphs and not a single photo. The ever-complete Wikipedia describes the BC in many, many paragraphs including photos.

I wish supporters of the dive industry would consolidate web resources and stop launching redundant or orphaned resources. WikiScuba is just one example of a great idea that isn't new or necessary. Should the dive community support WikiScuba considering the existence of similar (and larger) resources?
