How ScubaID works
Global emergency identification powered by secure QR technology — visible to any rescuer, anywhere in the world.
The Identification Gap
In a diving emergency, first responders have seconds to act — but accessing a diver's medical history and contacts can take minutes. Locked phones, missing wallets, and language barriers create a critical gap between incident and response.
Locked Devices
Contact info inaccessible
Lost Belongings
No ID in emergencies
Everything in one scan
Your QR code surfaces exactly the right information at the right time.
Instant Identity
Name, nationality, and photo appear the moment someone scans your QR — no delays, no barriers.
Emergency Contacts
One-tap dialing for your designated emergency contacts, accessible directly from the scan page.
Medical Info
Blood type, known allergies, current medications, and medical conditions — instantly visible to responders.
Insurance Details
DAN membership, policy numbers, and dive insurance details all in one place for dive operators.
Child-Safe IDs
Parent phone number surfaced on scan with safe name obfuscation — keeping children identifiable to the right people.
Dive Certifications
Your PADI, SSI, BSAC, or other agency certifications and qualification levels — visible to dive operators and rescue teams.
Visibility Control
Three tiers of access — you control exactly who sees what.
Public
Visible to anyone who scans your QR code. Ideal for name, blood type, and emergency contacts.
PIN Protected
Scanners must enter a PIN you share with trusted responders. Great for sensitive medical details.
Account Only
Visible only when logged into your ScubaID account. For highly sensitive information you control directly.
Why Divers Choose ScubaID

Why Families Use ScubaID
Travel Safety
Holiday destinations, airports, theme parks — a quick scan shows who to call and what to know.
Child Separation
If a child gets lost, a quick QR scan shows parent contact details safely — without exposing the child's full identity.
Child Safety & Safeguarding
ScubaID takes child safety seriously. Our child profile system is designed with safeguarding as a core principle.
Name Obfuscation
Child profiles never display a child's full name publicly. Safe profiles show initials + surname only. Holiday profiles show first initial only.
No Photos on Public Pages
Even if a parent uploads a photo, it is never shown on the child's public emergency page. This prevents misuse by strangers.
No Gender Display
Gender is not shown on child emergency pages, reducing identifiable information.
Parental Control
Only the account holder (parent/guardian) can create, edit, or delete child profiles. All changes require authentication.
Minimal Holiday Profile
The Holiday profile type provides the absolute minimum information needed to reunite a lost child with their parent — just an initial, age range, and parent contact number.
PIN Protection
Parents can set a PIN on sensitive fields, adding an extra layer of protection beyond the default privacy settings.
