The data were spatially restricted to the northern Red Sea: 23-30° N, 32-39.4° E. Only dives within standard recreational depths (maximum dive depth ≤ 40 m), years with more than 75 dives per year and with a spread of dives across most months were retained (2000 to 2017). The data were processed in R version 4.2, using the tidyverse suite of packages. A 15 arc-second (approximately 0.5 km) resolution bathymetric grid of the area was downloaded from GEBCO, allowing bathymetric depths associated with each dive location to be found using the marmap get.depth function in R. Data were collected as part of Celia Marlowe’s PhD project at the University of East Anglia, which aimed to assess the precision and accuracy of water temperature profiles collected from devices commonly carried by Scuba divers. The PhD project was part of the Next Generation Unmanned Systems Science (NEXUSS) Centre for Doctoral Training, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) (NE/N012070/1), and was additionally supported by Cefas Seedcorn (DP901D).

Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. true This dataset was created by the organisations with the "originator" role in this metadata record following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for long-term storage and data publication via DOI.Instrument(s) used to collect data: data loggers; water body temperature sensor.
