    Hi Ladies and Gents, all our reports on our board are being up kept with no report older than 2 weeks. Once one hits that two week mark it's replaced by a (?) and I ask on our facebook or ask divers as they come in to the store for a fresh one. I'm very glad to hear that OP likes our condition board. I think it's a nice thing to be able to walk in the store and see what's worth diving.

    It would be a nice gesture for your out-of-town customers if there was an online copy of your divesite conditions board.

    I post these conditions to our facebook from time to time and often share condition reports there as well.

    I would understand if this was too much trouble to maintain but would be very impressed if CCDV could accommodate, I'd bet others would be too.

    Some of us don't use FB, maybe you could link the FB feed to the website.

    I'm just thinking that this forum could provide one central location for all the updates so theres not a need to check two forums on here, caveatlas, the state parks website, the NFSA facebook, call the dive shops, and so on ...
    I like your idea best.

    Yes, but someone would have to remember to keep it up to date. Dive Shops have more motivation to do that.

    Not trying to push an idea but at would be an "all hands" effort and we have been doing that for years. We all have been posting about conditions either when something closes, opens or within dive reports but never in a central location. There is nothing wrong with Dive Shops assisting with the updates.
