Where DiveHQ comes from
Dive centers, liveaboards and dive businesses that joined forces.
DiveHQ started as a conversation between people who run dive operations: dive centers, liveaboard boats and the companies around them, with twenty years of seasons behind them. Cabins, park fees, fuel surcharges, agencies selling the same departure at different commissions, guests paying in three currencies, a bar tab that has to work with no signal — that is a normal week for all of them.
Nothing on the market handled it. Hotel software has rooms, not cabins. Tour software has seats, not berths that price differently for a single diver. Marketplaces took 15% and hid the guests' e-mails. Twenty years of running dive businesses also means twenty years of things that went missing: the double booking, the park fee nobody collected, the commission paid twice. So the operators pooled what they knew and built the system they wanted, then ran their own operations on it.
DiveHQ is that system, cleaned up and opened to everyone else. Liveaboard Management is in daily production use by the boats that built it. Dive Resort & Dive Center Management is the same platform with rooms, daily dives and courses instead of cabins and multi-day itineraries — built for the shop side of the same businesses, and in early access for others.
The rule has not changed: if the operators behind DiveHQ would not use a feature on their own boat or in their own shop, it does not ship.
