Planning your schedule

Last updated 2026-10-11

The schedule is your day-by-day dive plan: which sites you run morning, afternoon and night, with optional bad-weather alternatives. The Trip Sheet, Planner, TV board and WhatsApp answers all read from it.

The week

Dive Schedule (sidebar) opens on this week as a timetable: days across, your trips (Morning, Afternoon, Night) down, each with its departure time. Only the trip times you have switched on show; the times themselves are set in Trip Sheet → Trip sheet settings (hover the ⓘ for a link).

  • Change a trip: click it, pick dive sites or a trip template, and, if you use a Plan B, add backup sites (bad weather). Changes save as you go. If a change can't save, the page says Save failed with a Retry button and keeps saying so until it is saved; leaving the page with a change not saved asks first.
  • The whole day: click a day's name to see every trip, the day's notes, which plan runs (if you use a Plan B), and to copy the trips from another day. Use the arrows to move day by day.
  • Other weeks: the arrows, This week, or Pick a date.
  • Print a month or a custom range for the wall.
  • Staff who can view but not edit the schedule see the same timetable, including backup sites and notes, without the editing controls.

The month

Switch to Month to see the plan ahead at a glance. Each day lists every dive site of each trip, with its departure time, so you can read the plan without opening the day. Days with no dives planned are marked No dives. Click a day for the whole day. On a phone the days are too narrow for names, so the month shows dots and the Week view lists the sites.

  • Select days to change several days at once: click days (Shift-click picks a run of days), then Copy a day onto these, Run Plan B / Run Plan A (if you use a Plan B) or Clear trips. Clearing asks first, and every change can be undone straight after. Notes are never changed.
  • If some of the next 30 days have no dives planned, a note at the top says how many; Show me opens that month.

Repeat days

Repeat days copies a run of days over the days that follow it: fill in one week (or one run of your rotation, any length), then repeat it to the end of the season. You can also start repeating later, for example only in December. Choose whether to keep days that already have dives. The window tells you how many days will change before anything is saved, and you can undo it straight after. Notes are never copied.

Trip templates (a named combination like "Morning reef day") can be picked when you change a trip. Manage them under Dive Sites → Trip Templates (dive-sites.md).

Bad-weather plan (Plan A / Plan B)

  • If your centre runs two plans for good and rough conditions, each day has a Plan A and a Plan B. In the day window, choose a plan to see it and Run Plan B on this day to switch. The timetable marks Plan B days. In the Month view, select days and use Run Plan B to switch many days at once.
  • Plan B is switched on or off for the whole centre with the cog (Schedule settings) at the top right of the page. It is off for a new centre. While it is off, the page hides Plan B and the backup sites on each trip, and the Planner, Trip Sheet, TV board, WhatsApp answers, printout and public schedule feed all show Plan A only. Nothing is deleted: your Plan B days and backup sites come back when you switch it on again. If upcoming days are set to Plan B, you are told before they switch to Plan A. Only an owner, manager or anyone who can change the Trip Sheet settings sees the cog.
