Frequently asked questions
Is it genuinely free for the centre?
It's free to join today: no learning codes to buy, no certification commission, no annual affiliation fee. We're on a mission to make scuba more accessible, so we've removed the costs the legacy agencies pile on centres. We may introduce fees in future, but if we do they'll be more competitive than the agencies'. Our credibility comes from our standards and our platform.
How do you send us divers?
Divers plan trips, search dive sites and look for centres inside the app. Your verified centre profile appears on the worldwide map with your details, photos and reviews, so travelling divers can find, message and book you directly.
What about the instructors on our team?
They join free too. Each instructor and dive master gets their own verified profile, free e-learning for their students and the full pro toolkit.
Do our students still get a recognised certification?
Diving Standard certifications are verified and carry a live verification link any centre can check. Your students also keep every other agency card they hold in the same wallet.
How do we get verified?
Apply with your centre's details. We review by hand and reply within 24 to 48 hours. On approval your centre profile turns verified, with all courses and tools unlocked for your team.
