The number

Text the name of the water you dive. That’s the whole signup — no account, no app, no form.

Sydney and Bonaire lie beyond the number’s reach — US toll-free texts don’t cross the border reliably in either direction. Those bells ring by app, from their own pages on the board.

Ask the bell

Text WEEK at any hour and the bell answers with your water’s week ahead — every window scored, the best one starred, and whether the gate stands open — read live from the same instruments the site reads. Name a water to ask about another coast: MAUI WEEK answers for Maui, wherever you dive.

The Wednesday reading comes with the bell — you don’t have to ask. Prefer only the rare mornings? Text QUIET and the bell speaks only when it rings. WEEKLY brings the reading back.

After a dive

Text back one word — REEF if you saw the whole thing, BUDDY if you could see across the reef, FINS if you couldn’t. That’s how the bell learns its water. It has never been in the ocean; you have.
