Thirteen Sydney dive sites, scored for swell, wind and tide. Here's everything that changed this week, in about a minute.

Every site now has a top-down map: swell bending around the headland, the wind and the chop it builds. It tells you how much of the swell gets in at your entry.
On Snapshot for all 13 sites, and in each site's details
Back from a dive? Open the site, tap ✍️ Report conditions, drag to how the water really felt and hit Send. Each report is matched to that hour's swell, wind and tide. It's how the forecast gets tuned.

Check the app after sunset and it jumps to tomorrow morning. The day buttons and hour slider now sit just above the menu, always in reach of your thumb.
The menu has moved to the bottom of the screen, where your thumb already is. One tap takes you anywhere, and the app reopens on the tab you used last.
Tap ☆ on any site and it's pinned to the top of the list, and the Day view opens on it. The app also remembers the tab you used last.
It opens full screen, and still shows the last forecast when you've got no signal at the car park.
