The review
They say
Searching the web and crawling from one site to the next CAN be tedious and time consuming – with divespace you simply enter what you are looking for into the search box and let us find the item for you.
If we find the item listed on more than one website we will show you all the links starting with the best price first – giving YOU the choice of which site to visit and where to spend YOUR cash.
What can it do for you ?
Search out equipment across suppliers
Dive Space is affiliate web site to Diving Direct, Simply Scuba and Kit Scuba in UK and to Leisure Pro in USA. You can see all products by supplier or search individual products.
Is it easy to use ?
The search is easy but at no point before you click through to the affiliate web site are you told what currency the price is in. Makes a big difference, especially at the moment.
What do you agree to ?
Nothing to agree to, the site is just a portal.
We say
Price comparison sites that use international sources must include the currencies in their displays and comparisons. The search is not brilliant, we searched for fins and about a third of the results were dive bags and regulators. We couldn’t find anything that was listed on more than one source site so attempting comparisons seemed mute.
We are going to stick to shopping direct so we can get the full price (with known currency and delivery costs) even if it does take longer.

Just used this site and it seems to have got better. It DOES now tell you in advance if it is GBP or USD. And the search seems a lot better. Can be pretty useful to even just give a few ideas of whats out there, for example I searched for \\\“masks\\\” and was shown 316 results – more choice than any retailer and I even found masks and models I didnt know existed!! Nice

Earlier comments refer to an earlier version of DiveSpace when it was a social networking site.
ScubaFreebies has now reviewed tvscuba.com.
We also note that divespace.co.uk is broken again.
This website might be a student project but the creator has committed some serious offenses by having tvscuba up on his site like its in affiliation with tvscuba. Imho this has led tvscuba to taking down their schedule and replacing it with a loop asking you to visit their site.
I dont see why sites like this need to stream the video from sites like these coz tvscuba is free anyway. and offers a lot more video than any of these sites.
Divespace is back!
