A free Dive+ alternative for dive video

Dive+ is a capable app. If you have hit its limits – the watermark, the paid tier, the phone-only workflow – here is what the Nordrift browser tool does differently, and where Dive+ still wins.

After

Dive+ in short

Dive+ is a diving community app with one-tap color correction for photos and video. The free tier adds a watermark and limits how many clips you can correct per day; a subscription lifts the limits.

When to stay with Dive+

If you want logbook, community and photo correction in one app on the phone, Dive+ is a good fit. For a full dive's worth of 4K video, free and without a daily cap, the browser tool is faster and costs nothing.

Switching takes two minutes

1. Copy the clips to a computer (or open the tool on Android).
2. Drop them into the app.
3. Press Start – the output is a normal MP4 next to the original.

Facts about Dive+ come from its public store page and website in October 2026 and may change. Dive+ is a trademark of its owner; Nordrift is not affiliated.

What you give up, honestly

Dive+ lives on your phone, so you can correct a clip on the boat and post it from the same screen. The Nordrift tool runs in a browser: on Android and on iPhone (Safari 17+, beta) it works on the phone as well, but it is at its best on a laptop with a graphics card, where a 4K dive runs at or above real time. There is no community feed, no dive log and no built-in sharing – it does one thing, and it does it for the whole folder at once.

Same clip, both ways

The quickest comparison is your own footage: correct one clip in Dive+, drop the same original into the Nordrift app, and compare them side by side on a big screen. Look at the open water behind the subject (does it stay blue or drift towards purple?), at fine texture in sand and coral (is the grain acceptable?), and at the moment a diver or a large fish passes (does the colour of the water jump?). Those three spots are where correction tools differ most.
