What should a dive centre in French Polynesia run on?
French Polynesia's diving is spread over five archipelagos, and much of it is timed to the tide in the atoll passes. DiveOps keeps the boats, the divers and their levels, the kit and the team in one login, and answers enquiries while you are in the water.
The short answer
DiveOps suits dive centres across Tahiti and her islands, from Moorea and Bora Bora to the Rangiroa and Fakarava passes: it checks each diver's certification level before a pass dive, plans every boat around the tide, tracks gear and courses, and answers in French or English with a 24/7 WhatsApp AI front desk.

Tahiti Tourisme calls Tiputa Pass Rangiroa's number one dive site, with dolphins all year and hammerheads at certain times. Fakarava, known for its wall of sharks, is part of a UNESCO biosphere reserve. In the Society Islands, Moorea has manta rays, Bora Bora's lagoon suits beginners and Tahiti has wrecks.
Pass dives run on the tide, so times move day by day. DiveOps builds each boat's trip sheet from the bookings, groups divers by guide and level, and works out kit sizes for the whole boat, so a change of time is made once and the crew sees it.
Level checks before the pass
Tahiti Tourisme notes that drift dives in Rangiroa and Fakarava are reserved for divers with at least a Level 2 certification, and wreck dives are often limited by level too. DiveOps keeps each diver's certification on the booking, whether CMAS, SSI, PADI or another agency, so the guide knows who can join the pass dive before the boat leaves.
Divers fill in their details and medical form on their phone before they arrive, and course students are tracked from their first session to instructor sign-off.
Mantas, tiger sharks and humpback season
Diving runs all year. The dry season from May to October brings the best visibility, the warm season from November to April is best for Moorea's mantas and Rangiroa's tiger sharks, and humpback whales visit from July to November.
Each season's special trips can go on your booking page as dated trips with their own spaces and price, and the shop till and reports show how each one sold.
Enquiries in French, English and the diver's own language
Divers come from France, the US, Europe and Asia, often on a honeymoon or a one-off trip, and they ask in French or English before they fly. DiveOps' WhatsApp AI answers on your centre's own number through the official Meta Business API, in the diver's language, replies in under 2 minutes, handles around 92% of routine questions itself and sends your booking link. A person at the centre confirms every booking and takes over any chat that needs one.
Currency, payments and one plan
DiveOps runs each centre in one currency, set when you join. A centre in French Polynesia can price in euros or US dollars today; ask us about the CFP franc on your demo. Payments can be taken by payment link with PayPal where it is available to you, or recorded at the desk.
Staff rosters, payroll and double-entry books come from the same records, and centres get roughly 8 hours a week of admin back. DiveOps is one plan with every feature, priced by the number of divers you run through the year. Book a demo and see it set up against your own boats and passes.
