What should a dive centre in Mozambique run on?
Mozambique's diving is big-animal diving from the beach: rigid boats punching through the surf to manta cleaning stations, whale shark snorkels and reefs far offshore. Many divers drive up from South Africa for the holidays. DiveOps keeps the launches, the students and the kit in one login.
The short answer
DiveOps suits Mozambican dive centres from Ponta do Ouro to Tofo and Vilanculos: it builds each launch's trip sheet 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 divers in their language and sends your booking link.
(opens full size in a new tab)Tofo's mantas and whale sharks
Tofo, near Inhambane, is one of the few places with manta rays and whale sharks through much of the year, with humpback whales passing in the southern winter. The manta reefs sit deep enough that many dives suit Advanced divers, and whale sharks are usually met on a snorkel trip.
DiveOps builds each launch's trip sheet from the bookings, with every diver's certification level, kit sizes and cylinders, so the deep manta dive goes to divers qualified for it and the ocean safari has its own list.
Ponta do Ouro, Bazaruto and the protected areas
In the far south, the Ponta do Ouro Partial Marine Reserve, created in 2009, runs up from the South African border with reefs, dolphins and seasonal whale sharks. Further north, the Bazaruto Archipelago National Park off Vilanculos has reefs and seagrass beds. Both are protected areas with their own rules.
DiveOps keeps each diver's details, certification and medical form on the booking, filled in on their phone before they arrive, so the morning briefing is not spent on paperwork.
Holiday peaks and a 24/7 WhatsApp front desk
South African school holidays and Easter fill the coast fast, alongside backpackers and visitors from Europe, messaging in English, Portuguese, Afrikaans or their own language. 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, gear and the team
DiveOps tracks each student's course progress to sign-off, whichever agency you teach under, from SSI and PADI to CMAS, logs gear and cylinders against each diver, and runs the staff roster and payroll in the same login.
Your currency, payments and one plan
DiveOps runs each centre in one currency, set when you join. A centre in Mozambique can price in US dollars or euros today; ask about meticais or rand 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, 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 launches, sites and team.
Questions, answered.
Can DiveOps run dive launches and ocean safari snorkels side by side?
Yes. Dives, snorkel trips and courses sit in the same daily plan, each with its own list of people, guide and kit.
Does it check certification levels for deeper dives?
Each diver's certification is kept on their record and shown on the trip sheet, so staff can see who is qualified for a deeper site before the launch.
Can we price in meticais or rand?
Not yet. A centre in Mozambique can price in US dollars or euros today. Ask on your demo and we will tell you where other currencies stand for your account.
How much does DiveOps cost for a dive centre in Mozambique?
