JOIN THE COMMUNITY OF SEA LOVERS
& EmbarK THE BEST OF OCEANOLOGY
ABOUT
The DONIA application allows boaters, divers, fishermen and all sea lovers to exchange information while helping to protect sensitive marine ecosystems in compliance with the law. It offers an enriched cartographic rendering by integrating the nature of the seabed, bathymetry, regulations at sea, satellite images, points of interest, and many specific sites (diving sites, ports, anchorages, underwater photographs, observations of application users).
DONIA – Enjoy & protect the sea, together
DONIA is a community application for navigating and anchoring out of fragile ecosystems that can be downloaded for free on Apple and Android stores. Available on smartphone and tablet, it allows all sea lovers to benefit from accurate nautical charts enriched with multiple information, on land and at sea.
DDONIA works and raises awareness for the preservation of the environment by providing extremely accurate maps of marine ecosystems that allow anchoring outside of seagrass beds, in compliance with the law.
DONIA proposes to live the traditional maritime solidarity by sharing information on the dangers seen at sea (obstacles, accidents, jellyfish, SOS alert, etc.).
DONIA Premium – New data and navigation functionalities
The Premium version gives access to SHOM (Service Hydrographique et Océanographique de la Marine) nautical charts, high definition bathymetric charts on rocky spots, an atmospheric forecast model and preferential anchoring areas. The anchoring areas proposed to you are chosen according to the mapping of fragile ecosystems and weather forecasts for greater safety and eco-responsibility.
The premium version offers navigation tools (prediction arrows, waypoints and measurement tools, navigation tracks) and safety at sea (skid, entanglement and collision alert pack).
It integrates the AIS (Automatic Identification System) data of vessels from the AISHUb network.
Functionalities

Before going to sea, don’t forget to download your navigational maps so that you can continue to benefit from the enriched data even without an internet connection !
Access enriched maps
Donia provides its users with unprecedented information at sea (precise mapping of marine ecosystems, location of rocky areas, diving sites, preferred anchoring points), on land (ports, points of interest, satellite images) or even surface activities thanks to user sharing.
Respectful anchoring
Thanks to the Anchoring function, preserve fragile ecosystems by avoiding anchoring in seagrass beds and coraligenous reefs! Preferential anchoring zones, coupled with the weather, allow you to choose sheltered areas for the next 72 hours.
View SHOM nautical charts
Access data from SHOM, the Hydrographic and Oceanographic service of the Navy, in the French Mediterranean.
Enjoy HD bathymetry
Find new sites of interest, plan your dive routes, visualize faults and rocky pinnacles thanks to high definition bathymetric maps.
Gain security and navigate with powerful tools
Donia provides its Premium users with a skid, entanglement and collision alert pack for greater safety at sea. Record your routes, measure distances and course between navigation points, calculate and display your planned position in real time, access AIS data.
Access an atmospheric forecast model
Donia integrates a French global atmospheric forecast model (every 3h until h+72h). Thanks to data on wind speed and direction, temperature, rainfall and cloud cover, you can plan your routes and organize your next anchorages.
