Cabin booking · offline onboard POS · agency portal · automated payments. Built for the way liveaboards run — not retrofitted from hotels or generic tours.
Most systems are built for hotels or generic tours. Liveaboards have cabins, shared beds, deposits, offline operations at sea, agency networks, and strict guest data needs.
Cabins, passengers, supplements, agencies, payments, extras — scattered across Excel files, Drives and WhatsApp threads. Impossible to track in real time, painful to audit, error-prone every season.
Deposits, balances, multiple currencies, partial payments, reminders — all manually tracked. Too many places for mistakes, missed reminders, refund disputes and cash-flow surprises.
Cert cards via WhatsApp, medical info in inbox attachments, dietary notes in spreadsheets. Risky for liability, impossible to find on the boat, and a nightmare for the dive guides at briefing.
Operators come to us with the same arithmetic: a percentage here, a payment cut there, a rebate out of the margin, a licence that climbs every renewal — software that costs the most in a good season. DiveHQ is €75 a month, whatever the boat carries, your payments settle on your own merchant accounts, and the liveaboard module is not a roadmap item: it runs real fleets in production today.
Stripe, Xendit or PayPal under your own merchant account. The guest pays you, not us, and settlement lands where it always did. No platform cut on the way through, no rebate mechanics you did not agree to.
Your agencies get their own portal with contracted rates, live availability and commission computed for them. They book the cabin, the confirmation writes itself, and the email ping-pong stops. Their guests never see your net prices.
Live availability feeds already run to LiveaboardHub and ScubaDates, and a Google Merchant Center feed is generated for your departures. Need another partner connected? Standard partner feeds are part of the plan, and larger integrations are scoped together first. Your data stays exportable, because a platform confident in its product does not need to hold it hostage.
Each module is built around real liveaboard workflows. Not generic SaaS retrofitted for diving.
A flow built for cabins, shares and extras — not hotel rooms or generic tickets.
Stop chasing payments. Configure schedules once and let the system do the follow-up.
Crew sell drinks, rentals and extras without admin login and without internet. Syncs when reconnected.
Certifications, experience, medical, dietary notes and documents — collected automatically before the trip.
Set rules once: confirmations, reminders, diver forms, invoices, pre-trip info, post-trip follow-up.
Give your partners real-time access, separate pricing, and a clean dashboard — while you keep control.
Every operator on DiveHQ gets a free page per boat on divehq.cloud/liveaboards, published under the destinations divers search for. Your upcoming departures and prices sync from your own dashboard, and the page links to your website — a dofollow backlink from a dive-industry domain, free, with no commission on anything it sends you.
Your boat page links to your website. Search engines count it; you pay nothing for it.
Komodo, Raja Ampat, Banda Sea… divers browse by where they want to dive and find your boat.
Trips, dates and prices come from your DiveHQ dashboard — nothing to maintain twice.
Divers book on your own booking page, on your terms. DiveHQ takes no cut.
You sell liveaboard trips — we give you the engine. Get your own branded B2B portal, live availability across our network, automatic commissions and clean invoicing. Your divers never see the operator's price.
✦ Free for agencies · No setup fees · Commission set per boat by the operator · 5-step booking wizard
DiveHQ includes modules generic booking platforms don't even attempt — because they're not built for at-sea operations.

Dive center or resort? Dive Resort & Dive Center Management — €50/month for a dive center, €150/month for the resort package with rooms.

All plans include zero commission on bookings, zero commission on payments, free Marketplace listing, unlimited users, and upgrades as they ship.
As a line item computed from the itinerary, not a flat surcharge bolted on the end. The Komodo park fee is per diver per day, so a 7-night trip and a 3-night trip produce different amounts from the same rule — and the fee appears separately on the invoice and is excluded from agency commission, which is where most systems get it wrong. Fuel surcharges and other mandatory fees use the same mechanism.
A few weeks of overlap, not a weekend — and we would rather say so now than after you sign. Boats, cabins, itineraries and rates are set up with you, your existing bookings and passenger data are imported, and payments are connected to your own merchant accounts. The 3 months free exist for exactly this: enough time to run a full booking cycle before you pay anything.
Yes. Token-protected availability feeds are fetched directly by LiveaboardHub and ScubaDates, including a separate discount feed for special prices, and a Google Merchant Center product feed is generated for your departures. Want another partner connected? Standard partner feeds are part of the plan; a larger integration is scoped together before we commit.
Yes. The onboard POS is offline-first. Your crew can record bar sales, equipment rentals and extras at sea without any internet connection. Everything syncs automatically when the device reconnects. This is uncommon in the dive industry — most generic booking platforms simply stop working when you leave port.
No. The monthly price is the only price you pay. 0% commission on bookings. 0% commission on payments processed through Stripe, Xendit or PayPal. No setup fees. Every new module and feature we release is automatically included in your existing subscription.
DiveHQ was created, tested and used by real dive centers, liveaboards and dive businesses that joined forces to build it, with 20 years of running dive operations behind it. Every feature exists because the operators behind it needed it on their own boats and in their own shops. We're not generic developers retrofitting a hotel system — we're operators solving operator problems.
Yes. The Liveaboard Partner Program is free for agencies. Agencies get a branded portal with live availability across partner boats, auto-computed cabin-only commissions, multi-booking invoicing, and locked price privacy — passengers never see the operator's net price. Apply at /agency/register.
Yes. DiveHQ supports visual cabin layouts so guests pick their cabin from your deck plan (or you can assign manually). Cabin sharing, capacity rules, supplements and minimum-booking thresholds are fully supported. Booking flow: cabin → extras → guest details → payment.
Stripe for international cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, JCB, UnionPay), Xendit for Southeast Asia local rails (Indonesian bank transfer, e-wallets), and PayPal. Multi-currency including USD, EUR and IDR. Indonesian PB1 tax compliance is built-in with strict integer math (never floats).
You configure payment schedules once — deposit, then remaining balance — and DiveHQ automates the reminders via email and WhatsApp with payment links. Partial payments are tracked per passenger. PDF invoices are auto-generated and sent.
No. DiveHQ has two products on the same platform: Liveaboard Management, and Dive Resort & Dive Center Management — one product sold as a package: rooms and accommodation included for a resort, left out for a dive center alone. Existing customers receive new modules at no extra cost.
DiveHQ is multi-tenant by design. Every operator runs on its own isolated database with daily encrypted backups. Data is never mixed with another operator's. Each operator also gets a dedicated subdomain (e.g. your-operator.divehq.cloud). Every tenant is dumped nightly, the central database too.
Yes. DiveHQ offers an embeddable booking widget (iframe or JS) that drops into any website. Mobile-first and brandable. You can also use a custom subdomain (your-operator.divehq.cloud) or fully white-label with your own domain (book.yourliveaboard.com). See it live — the widget page embeds a real operator's production widget as the demo.
You own your data, full stop. We provide standard-format exports any time and help with migration if you decide to move on. There's no lock-in beyond the value the platform delivers.
Stop stitching tools together. Run bookings, payments, guest forms, onboard sales and B2B in one system. First 3 months free.
