Please add free diving and Scuba diving into Strava

[fgallardo]

Hi,

It would be great to have free diving and scuba diving sports into Strava, in a similar manner to what Garmin Connect allows. 

At the moment, I am using a Garmin Descent 1 and activated the synchronization between Garmin Connect and Strava, but every time I go Scuba Diving or Free-diving, Strava recognizes it as Swimming. Which is normal because it does not support underwater sports.

In summary, it would be great to have the following features in Strava:

1. Free-diving as a sport in Strava

2. Scuba Diving as a sport in Strava.

 3. Allow the interface to get the data for Free-diving or scuba-diving sessions from Garmin Connect, recognizing the session features (depth, time underwater, etc.)

Thanks!

Fran

Yes! I am a diver since 10 years already.. it is not a nitche anymore!! I would love to have it as activity in Strava!! (Now I need to log it as swimming activity, which is not!!!!) and without adding any more important data such us Type of Air, maximim depth, surface interval.. etc) 😞

Please add scuba diving to Strava. It's a decent sport activity.

Would be great!!

[Fabrice1]

Yessss agree

Diving would be great, even if it comes without graphs, just the stats. The watches like Garmin Descent series are recoding the data and divers are relying on it sometimes even more than runners or cyclists. So it's natural and very desirable to be able to share it.

@vadchen Good points. Especially since even pool swimming and open water swimming are able to be transferred to strava. The data is there in garmin dive already and could easily be able to be added to Strava.

Is it possible to make a scuba dive selection? 
it will be a great experience.

It would be a super cool option. Any updates on this topic so far? 🧐

Hello Strava staff, 

there is still no answer about the question for a scuba dive selection? 
it will be a great experience. 

can you create that?
