Every condition should tell you what it is and where it came from.

Observation classes

Live and recent observation require provider provenance and a usable timestamp. Provider estimate identifies modeled or forecast provider data. Baseline is a dated editorial reference, not a current report. Unavailable means the product does not have defensible data to show.

Freshness

Each condition shows its source and time when available. Provider observations become recent or stale as they age. A baseline remains a baseline even when it has a date.

Place ratings

A positive current rating requires fresh observed wave height, visibility, and bacterial water quality. If any required input is missing, estimated, baseline, or stale, ReefRoamer shows CHECK. It does not fill gaps with invented defaults.

Atlas coverage and comparison

The Atlas currently contains 15 Puerto Rico places and 33 marine-life profiles. Those counts describe editorial coverage, not visitor activity, verified sightings or complete coverage of an area. Place records can differ in detail; an empty marine-life list means no profiles are documented there in this catalogue, not that marine life is absent.

The planner comparison displays up to three records using their region, listed activities, access notes, listed facilities, habitats and documented profile counts. These are catalogue facts and references, not live availability. Missing details remain undocumented. The planner does not rank places by safety, calculate travel times, optimize an itinerary, or promise sightings. Its stop order is chosen by you.

Private plans and logged outings

Saving or arranging a place in a plan does not record a visit or species encounter. The log action opens a draft for review. Notes and checklists are personal browser-local data; planner and journal have separate backup and restore controls. Read how local storage and backups work.

Rincón model boundary

The Rincón Rain-to-Reef model is an uncalibrated screening scenario. It does not populate destination ratings and is not a measured visibility forecast or safety product.
