best

best_time_to_dive

Month-by-month climatology for ONE destination: the share of days historically favorable, typical water temperature and seas, plus marine-life season windows. Accepts a country (e.g. "Bonaire", "Egypt") or a famous destination (Komodo, Raja Ampat, Nusa Penida, Socorro (Revillagigedo), Cozumel, Similan Islands, Koh Tao, Sipadan, Malapascua, Tubbataha, Galápagos, Red Sea, Great Barrier Reef, Sea of Cortez, Cocos Island, Lembeh Strait, Bunaken, Anilao, Amed & Tulamben). Historical patterns, never a forecast. Cite the linked page.

dive

find_dive_windows

Ranked scuba-diving forecast windows near a place for a specific day. Answers "where can I dive near {place} on {day}?" with favorable and moderate windows (wave height, wind, timing) plus site links. Values are metric with unit-suffixed fields (max_depth_m, wave_m, distance_km; wind_kn is knots — the marine convention everywhere). When presenting to a user who uses US customary units, convert depths and waves to feet and distances to miles. Forecast planning context only — never a safety clearance.

site

site_facts

Public facts for one named dive site: depths, difficulty, access (shore/boat), hazards, entry and exit notes, water type, and its page link. Look up by site name or slug. Metric with unit-suffixed fields; convert for US users.

species

species_seasonality

Month-by-month seasonality for marquee dive species from recorded GBIF sightings: peak month, regional season windows, and (optionally) the season at a specific point. Species available: whale-shark, scalloped-hammerhead, giant-manta, mola-mola, orca, humpback-whale, green-sea-turtle, tiger-shark, great-white-shark, reef-manta, thresher-shark, bull-shark. Recorded sightings, never a promise of encounters.

top

top_dive_regions

Regions worldwide ranked by favorable dive-forecast windows over the next ~72 hours, with per-region counts and links. Answers "where in the world is good for diving this weekend?".

PickADive Scuba Diving — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PickADive Scuba Diving do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: best_time_to_dive, find_dive_windows, site_facts, species_seasonality, top_dive_regions. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is PickADive Scuba Diving working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 10 of 91 checks got a reply (11.0%), average response time 850 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists PickADive Scuba Diving as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect PickADive Scuba Diving?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does PickADive Scuba Diving need an API key?

No. PickADive Scuba Diving completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is PickADive Scuba Diving?

It answers our handshake in 850 ms on average, which is faster than 14% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is PickADive Scuba Diving open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
