What should a dive centre in Mauritius run on?
Mauritian diving is boat diving, a short ride from the beach to sites inside the lagoon or outside the barrier reef, and many centres sit inside a hotel. Guests decide what to dive once they arrive. DiveOps runs that centre, and the bookings from every channel, in one login.
The short answer
DiveOps suits Mauritian dive centres, from hotel dive desks to independent beach centres: it plans each boat from the bookings, keeps every diver's certification and medical on file, tracks courses, gear and cylinders, and runs a 24/7 WhatsApp AI front desk that answers in French, English or the diver's language.

The north coast between Trou aux Biches and Grand Baie has dozens of sites, with Coin de Mire offshore for more experienced divers. The west coast off Flic en Flac is known for the Cathedral, and Blue Bay and Balaclava are marine parks under the Fisheries and Marine Resources (Marine Protected Areas) Regulations 2001.
DiveOps builds each boat's trip sheet from the bookings, with every diver's certification level, so the dive outside the reef goes to divers ready for it and the lagoon dive takes the newer ones.
Seasons, trade winds and cyclones
Water runs from around 22°C in the southern winter to about 28°C in summer. The south-east trade winds in winter make the east and south rougher, and the cyclone season, roughly January to March, can cancel boats at short notice.
When a boat is cancelled, every diver on it is on one trip sheet, with their contact details and booking, so moving them to another day starts from a single list.
Hotel guests and a 24/7 WhatsApp front desk
Guests come from France, Réunion, the UK, Germany, South Africa and India, and write in French, English, German or their own language, often from their room. DiveOps' WhatsApp AI answers on your centre's own number through the official Meta Business API, 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.
Courses, medicals and gear
Divers fill in their details and medical form on their phone before the first dive. DiveOps tracks each student's course progress to sign-off, whichever agency you teach under, from SSI and PADI to CMAS, and logs gear and cylinders against each diver.
Your currency, payments and one plan
DiveOps runs each centre in one currency, set when you join. A centre in Mauritius can price in euros or US dollars today; ask about Mauritian rupees on your demo. Payments can be taken by payment link with PayPal where it is available to you, or recorded at the desk, and the shop till, staff rosters, payroll, reports and double-entry books sit in the same login. 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, sites and team.
