Captain Saam’s Scuba School

Submitter’s comments: I’m a scuba diver and you gotta love this one. I want to submit to you a web site that I believe meets your criteria of a truly sucky web site.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I have a great deal of respect for scuba divers. Michael Willis, the co-author of my first book, is a serious scuba diver — wait, that doesn’t make sense. You’re either a serious scuba diver or you’re a dead scuba diver, which is why I respect them. Unfortunately, I can’t respect today’s sucker because it looks like Captain Saam got his inspiration from:

Ugliest / Worst Web Pages of the Decade
Worst Web Page in the World
Ugliest / Worst Business Web Sites of 2009
Ugliest / Worst Over The Top Web Sites of 2009
Worst Web Sites of 2008
Worst Web Sites of 2007
Worst Web Sites of 2006
Worst Web Sites of 2005
Over-the-top Web Sites

The Captain makes Mistake #5 from Biggest Mistakes in Web Design 1995-2015 — “Have you ever seen another web site? Really? Doesn’t look like it.“ I call this type of design the “I haven’t taken my antipsychotics in a while school of web design.”

If he’s looking for inspiration, I’d try Scuba.com. It’s too busy, among other problems, but it’s a much better influence

The only way to keep Captain Saam from drowning is to redesign the site.
