The product

From the first booking to the last head count.

DiveDay is organized around the trip itself. Every booking, waiver, certification, payment, packing decision, and roll-call event stays attached to the people going out on the boat.

Before departure

One readiness answer, shared everywhere it matters.

The front desk sees why a diver is blocked. The captain sees the same answer on the manifest. No one has to guess whether a missing waiver or pending card is okay to ignore.

  • 01 The trip and the dive site decide what each diver needs.
  • 02 If something can't be verified, DiveDay says so plainly — no silent passes.
  • 03 Staff fix the problem at the desk, not at the dock.

The full system

Built around how a dive shop actually works.

Welcome divers well

From first click to confirmed place on the boat

  • ✓A live schedule divers book themselves — never past what the boat can hold
  • ✓Courses, charters, and dive trips on one calendar
  • ✓Confirmation emails you can see arrived — and resend when they didn't
  • ✓Divers share their sizes and gear needs before they ever reach the counter

Get ready before the dock

The paperwork, evidence, and exceptions stay together

  • ✓Waivers signed from home, with medical flags raised long before the boat
  • ✓C-cards photographed once, verified by staff, and kept with the diver
  • ✓One honest answer to “is this diver ready?” — waiver, cert, sites, and payment together
  • ✓A clear staff view of exactly what still needs attention

Run the dive day

Crew, prep, and the boat share one source of truth

  • ✓Every diver's rental sizes on the trip's prep list, so the boat is packed without a clipboard
  • ✓Dive-site briefings with the route and conditions notes crews actually use
  • ✓Nitrox requested per booking — filled as plain air until the diver's enriched-air card is verified
  • ✓Save the manifest to a phone and roll call keeps working with no signal — every dive, print backup included

Keep the shop in motion

The next handoff is already clear

  • ✓Every trip and class shows who's leading it and who's crewing
  • ✓A live picture of bookings, blockers, and staffing gaps — before they become tomorrow's problem
  • ✓Walk the day as the front desk, the captain, or the diver before you commit
  • ✓Leave any day with a one-ZIP export of your shop's records — no phone call, no fee

At the dock

A manifest that stays useful after the signal disappears.

The crew gets big phone controls, head counts for every dive, blockers that can't be ignored, a boarding history that keeps every correction, and a print view straight from the same manifest.

The crew saves the manifest to their phone before leaving the dock. Anything marked offline stays clearly labeled until DiveDay is back in service and double-checks it against the live manifest — nothing is ever quietly overwritten.

After the boat is back

The day ends with a recap divers want to share.

The paperwork is DiveDay's job; the memory is the diver's. The night before, every diver gets a plain-language brief — dock time, conditions on the water, what to bring, who to text. After the trip, each diver gets their own recap page to keep and share.

The night before

A brief in plain words, not a form letter

When to be at the dock, what the water looks like, what to pack, and who to text if something changes — written gently enough for someone's first boat dive.

After the trip

A recap page they'll want to share

The sites they dived, a shout-out from the crew, and room for their own photos — with a nudge to bring a buddy next time. Divers share it; the shop gets remembered.

An honest no

What DiveDay doesn't do.

You're sizing up a vendor you've never heard of; the least we can do is draw our own boundaries before you find them.

A retail point of sale

Keep the register you have. You can put a retail line on a DiveDay order, but there's no barcode scanner or stock count here — DiveDay runs the water side of the shop.

Gear serial numbers

DiveDay tracks every diver's sizes and builds the trip's packing list. It doesn't manage individual rigs or service history.

A live line to PADI or SSI

No agency offers software a way to verify a C-card automatically, so verification stays honest: staff look the card up with the agency and mark it certified themselves.
