What should a dive centre in Turkey run on?

Kaş, Fethiye, Bodrum and the Aegean

Kaş has dozens of sites a short boat ride from the harbour, including the Uçan Balık aircraft wreck, and Fethiye, Kalkan, Marmaris, Bodrum and Gökova each run their own day boats. In the north Aegean, Ayvalık is known for red coral, and Saros Bay for clear water and wrecks. Water runs from around 16°C in late winter to the high 20s in August, with the main season from May to October.

DiveOps builds each day's boats from the bookings, with every diver's group, guide and kit on one trip sheet, and keeps the site on every trip.

The Gallipoli Historic Underwater Park

Since 2022 the First World War wrecks off the Gallipoli peninsula have been open to recreational and technical divers as the Gallipoli Historic Underwater Park. These are deeper, more demanding dives, so the centre needs to know each diver's training before they board.

DiveOps checks each diver's certification against the booking and keeps their medical form, filled in on their phone before arrival, on the same record, so the dive plan starts from what each diver is qualified to do.

Federation rules and agency courses

Turkey's underwater sports federation, the TSSF, publishes the country's scuba diving regulation and instructions. Turkish centres teach under the federation's own system as well as SSI, PADI and other agencies, often side by side.

DiveOps tracks each student from first session to instructor sign-off and keeps every certification on the diver's record, whichever agency issued it, along with staff rosters and payroll for the instructors who taught them.

A 24/7 WhatsApp front desk for four languages and more

Enquiries arrive in Turkish from domestic divers and in German, English and Russian from visitors, often before their holiday starts. DiveOps' WhatsApp AI answers on your centre's own number through the official Meta Business API, replies in under 2 minutes in the diver's language, handles around 92% of routine questions itself and sends your booking link. A person at the centre confirms every booking and can take over any chat.

Your currency, payments and one plan

DiveOps runs each centre in one currency. A Turkish centre can price in euros or US dollars today; if you want Turkish lira, ask us on your demo. Payments can be recorded at the desk against each booking, and the shop till, reports and double-entry books keep the money in one place, giving centres 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 courses.
