Frequently asked questions
How do divers find our centre?
Divers plan trips, search dive sites and look for centres inside the app. Your verified centre profile appears on the world map with your details, photos and reviews, so travelling divers can discover you, message you and book you directly, for courses and fun dives alike.
What do our team and students get inside the app?
The full dive toolkit: live conditions for any site (tide, currents, water temperature, UV, wind and visibility), planning tools like NDL, nitrox and weighting for every instructor on staff, and the complete illustrated courses to share with students before they arrive.
Do we have to leave our current agency?
No. Keep working with PADI, SSI or whichever agency you run today, nothing changes there. Diving Standard sits alongside your existing affiliation purely to give your centre more exposure: another channel that brings divers to your door.
What about the instructors on our team?
Each instructor and dive master gets their own verified profile, the full pro toolkit and the same place on the map. You can have your whole team on Diving Standard, and each verified profile draws more divers to your centre.
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.
Is it really free?
Yes. Joining is free for your centre and the e-learning is free for your students, with no commission on the divers you certify. We're on a mission to make scuba more accessible, so our credibility comes from our standards and our platform.
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.
