Dive with Youri

Youssef Diouri

Diver, learner, and the person behind the Dive with Youri name used across Youssef's social media and underwater projects.

Background

Built from curiosity

This started from curiosity and personal passion. The goal is to document the learning journey honestly, without pretending that everything is already finished or fully mastered.

Dive with Youri is where dives, experiments, articles, mistakes, and progress can all live together. It is a hobby space that grows through practice, reflection, and shared experience.

Persona

Youssef Diouri, also known as Dive with Youri, is the voice behind this media.

Dive with Youri simply means Dive with Youssef Diouri. "Youri" is the name Youssef uses on social media, so the project carries that same identity as a simple way to express the person behind the work.

Media identity

What Dive with Youri represents

This is Youssef's media, but it is not meant to stay closed around one person. It is also a place where others can join, write, participate in projects, share dives, follow courses together, and contribute their own experiences, tests, and struggles.

The references section exists for that reason. It helps connect people, places, ideas, and shared learning so the platform becomes more useful as more contributors and collaborators take part.

Approach

How the journey is shared

The approach here is open and honest. Some articles come from direct experience, some from learning in progress, and some from collaboration with people who want to document what they are testing, struggling with, or discovering.

The goal is to make the space feel human and connected: not just polished results, but also the process, the doubts, the lessons, and the conversations that help people move forward together.

Selected collaborations

People and collaborators behind the work.

This section sits here on purpose: after the personal story, before the future direction. It adds proof of real collaboration without turning the page into a corporate profile.

Long-term direction

Atlas Diver is part of the longer story.

Atlas Diver may one day help organize trips, expeditions, and shared projects. For now, it is part of the larger story of how this journey is evolving and what it may become over time through real experience and collaboration.

Equipment

Tools of the trade

The equipment is split between core scuba diving essentials and the dedicated photogrammetry rig used when the goal is accurate underwater capture.

Photogrammetry rig

The imaging setup is built for repeatable capture underwater, with enough resolution, coverage, and lighting control to turn a dive into a usable three-dimensional record.

  • Insta360 Ace PRO2
  • Insta360 X4
  • 2 X Seafrog 150SF
  • Carbon stick

Scuba diving equipment

The base scuba configuration stays practical and dependable. It covers the core life-support and dive-planning equipment needed to work calmly and safely before any imaging system is added.

  • Shearwater Perdix AI Dive Computer
  • 2x ScubaPro MK25 EVO/S600 Regulator
  • Xdeep zen harnest
  • Xdeep 40 LB BCD

Open for collaboration
